Depends on Where you Work in MITRE

Pros

Great benefits, work-life balance. It is easy to make your own schedule and plan work around your life. There are programs like the MITRE Innovation Program where anyone can apply for funding for research and development.

Cons

Many departments seem very insular. Your work satisfaction will be dependent on which department you end up in. You might get an amazingly motivating, enthusiastic department head or supervisor who cares about your growth and development, or you might get a good ol' boy who's just counting down the days to retirement. For things like the innovation program - it's hard to get anywhere without management that has already been successful in the program or is otherwise deeply invested in your success.

Thank you for taking the time to post. We are happy that you enjoy MITRE’s benefits. As at any company, it is always far more enjoyable to have an enthusiastic manager or project lead. We will continue to provide training and feedback to our middle managers so that our departments will have enthusiastic leaders who are committed to growth and development.
