Pros

Extremely rewarding work, a chance to use your talents to best effect. Very supportive leadership and ability to stay objective -- am constantly told to do or say the right thing regardless of any of our customers' agendas. MITRE makes is EASY to work -- support side of company is constantly working to make it easier for the front-line people to work remotely as well as securely. I have nothing to sell except my knowledge, skills and services -- and those sell themselves.

Cons

I have to think really really hard to come up with a downside to working at MITRE -- visualize Winnie the Pooh trying to think!

Pros

The work at MITRE is interesting and challenging and your coworkers are some of the brightest people in their fields. Great benefits and a fantastic retirement program. Very competitive pay.

Cons

Employees working at sites don't always have access to some of the great benefits available when you work at the Bedford or McLean campuses. Through the course of your work you will often bump into very smart, very tactless engineers.

Pros

This is a company that treats employees with respect and as adults. It's a great place to come late in a career to provide high level consulting services to the Federal Government.

Cons

It can be a little ivory tower. Sometimes you just want to get things done. They could have better people skills in management, but they try hard.
