Pros

The work at MITRE is challenging and intellectually stimulating. Employees are extremely dedicated to support the mission of our sponsors. MITRE offers employees flexible hours and supports work-life balance. People are very collaborative and open. I also believe that the senior leadership (Al and the Officers) truly care about the employees.

Cons

MITRE employees are "experts" at what they do and often, believe they have expertise in all things which leads to question and challenge every idea, every decision, every presentation.

Great R&D Lab

Pros

Great place to work if you want to work without many boundaries. With their customers only being the US government and agencies within the US government there is less emphasis on sales and marketing and feasibility of ideas and more look into what these products could give in the future. Management is very open and the whole community of researchers are easy to talk to and there is little to none of the bureaucratic mess that other larger corporations have.

Cons

Some of the work is part time and grant based depending on the whims of government officials.

Pros

Great work, interesting people, good work/life balance. Most people are here to make a difference and do something important for the country, not to enrich themselves.

Cons

Change happens very slowly. It is very hierarchical.
