      Excellent experience and I would highly recommend this environment to anyone who is technical.

      Principal information systems engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Talented individuals, open-minded, free-thinking, and cooperative. About 20% of the people have PhDs and more than 60% have a Masters.

      Cons

      Bureacracy which is not a surprise at any medium to large sized company. Federal work can be challenging, working with the latest and greatest technologies, but it can also be limiting in that your work mainly in areas of defense and a few civilian federal agencies. A broader involvement in other industries would be nice but not possible.

      Still learning MITRE, but good experience so far

      Information systems engineer, lead
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      --Great work-life balance (they really mean stick to 40 hrs or close to it) --Great benefits--25 days combined PTO that you can roll over and cash out within certain constraints; health etc; great retirement matching --Collegial/collaborative culture --Strong commitment to professional development (I'm learning how that works) --Strong commitment to the public mission--they really want to help government work better

      Cons

      --Like any place, there can be a mix of calibre of professional (and some surprising promotions, as a result) --Not exactly a con but a complexity: MITRE in fact is a corporation that hosts multiple FFRDCs (federally-funded research and development centers), and the different centers appear to have different personalities. At least in the center I'm in, there's a "matrix" thing going on with folks in mission groups who are dedicated to understanding a client and client mission very well, and other folks in practice groups who bring specialized practitioner expertise to client engagements. My center is still working on how the mission and practice groups work together.
