Pros

- MITRE Internal Research and Development Program (MIP) - Decent benefits but used to be a lot better (time off and PTO) - Ability to grow and create your own opportunities, if in the right group - Broad gov't customer base (growing in Healthcare; multi-agency) - Smart and highly educated people - Trusted and respected advisors to the gov't (in a fair number of cases) - Opportunities to make significant difference for this nation

Cons

- Pay can be low for junior staff in certain technical fields (i.e. Computer Science) and no mechanism to correct over time; has caused significant turnover in junior staff - No real technical growth path, rising requires taking on management responsibility - Top heavy on management that have almost no technical focus - Most management lack appreciation and knowledge of real technical contributions - Working hard does not necessarily equal more reward
