      Good company, smart people, slow growth

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart co-workers Really interesting work usually performed at high levels within sponsor organization = high impact Flexible schedules available, high value on work-life balance

      Cons

      Slow, slow growth... both in a monetary and professional development sense Often feels like the government= poor performers are not well managed, slow bureaucratic processes must be dealt with, etc. You really have to be a true engineer to have a longstanding, successful career here...it's what they value most.

      Needs diversity and canning the political atmosphere

      Multi-discipline systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Helping the sponsor is rewarding on a personal level * Good for your career when you leave MITRE - a 3 year MITRE stint on your resume looks good to other companies * Variety of work available is great - you can choose other projects to work on within the company * Benefits are good * Flexible work schedule promotes good work-life balance * You meet many, many smart people

      Cons

      * You meet many, many smart people who think they're smarter than everyone else * The strange mix in management - which is, many managers who are politically motivated - actually serves to tamp down the talent of many employees and they become afraid to make decisions that could be controversial * The office politics are excessive * Be careful what degree you have - if you do not have a public policy or a tech degree, you will feel your opinion is far less valuable to management * There's a distinct lack of thought diversity in MITRE and sometimes the solutions are like stagnant water

      Grow your skills, keep a work life balance, and work with highly intelligent and ethical people

      Senior economic/business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most of the people you work with are extremely sharp and driven to do what is right for the government agencies they serve and the American taxpayer. Work-life balance is very real and everyone is encouraged to take time off and keep their work hours under control. There is constant opportunity for non-traditional "career advancement": working on tasks outside of your experience/degree, training, and collaboration.

      Cons

      Traditional "Career Advancement" (i.e. promotion) is slow and pay is lower than the for-profit contractor firms. For individuals who need rigorous structure, the highly matrixed environment will be daunting.
