Pros

It's OK for work life balance, but most companies would allow someone to take off a half hour early if they needed to and either remove it PTO or make it up in the week with little hassle. MITRE wants to know every day and hour off you need weeks in advance.

Cons

No room for growth. You will be underpaid for the work you do in this field and in this location. No one is ever in the office. There are several rented locations that are never full and they're building a new office in Tyson's Corner. No chance to learn about the other opportunities that MITRE has. If the Government ever did a proper audit, I'd be curious to see the work being billed versus the work actually being done.
