      Solid stable employment, but not moving at free-market speed

      Software systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very good and flexible benefits. Stable work with no fear of layoffs. Chances to work on research projects and work which is of public benefit.

      Cons

      Sub-market salaries (for talented software engineers at least). Sometimes frustrating inefficiencies and delays between projects due to working with government agencies. There's a lot of variety in different centers/divisions/departments, so the nature of work can't really be generalized well on a company-wide level.

      An ok place to work

      Senior software systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You can manage to have a good work-life balance and the benefits pretty good. A quote a read a while back sums it up "great place to start and end your career."

      Cons

      No technical path for good engineers to grow. You must take on management to advance your career. There is no defined process of advancement.

      Stable and slow growth

      Senior systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is a big push to do important work at MITRE. Constant badgering about "what is MITRE work", versus SETA work. There is pressure to provide "impact" for the sponsor, rather than just run job hours. It is not enough to have a project to work on, you must be providing serious sponsor impact. The retirement program is good and the vacation is good.

      Cons

      The combination of not-for-profit, minimal growth, and very low turnover limit career growth opportunities. I would stay away if young. MITRE provides senior technical advice to the government, and age and experience provide confidence to the clients. Perfect for those at the end of their career who have already been senior managers and don't want the pressure any longer. However, even in those cases, you must have some serious techical ability or specialty.
