MITRE reviews

There are not too many downsides about working at MITRE. The biggest is probably that projects, especially in today's economy, can sometimes go away unexpectedly. There are also times (but not always) where there seem to be too many managers on projects per non-manager.

- Somewhat older company. As a mid-20, it is a bit lonely at times. Everyone is awesome and friendly, and many of my co-workers are young-at-heart, but sometimes it's nice to be with people my own age - Benefits seem to be slowly going down-hill as the company gets older - The closer you get to the government space, the more red-tape and BS you have to deal with. - It is very difficult to get fired at MITRE. Too often I've seen people with little skill get held onto for no good reason. Once one project team gets tired of them and ousts them, they are just moved onto something else. - Base salary isn't necessarily the best, but the cool opportunities and benefits mostly make up for it.
