Pros

Diverse types of work; many project areas; diverse sponsors; flexible hours; telecommuting opportunities; educational opportunities; information sharing; access to data; important national issues. MITRE offers educational and advancement opportunities for entry-level people to mid-career people to military or other retirees, and focuses on tailoring the opportunities to the needs of the individual. People are not 'pigeon-holed' to work in specific areas, as is the case in many industrial organizations, but have the flexibility to support other parts of the company if there is mutual benefit.

Cons

Mid-level managers work on technical projects rather than managing; some types of work restricted by FFRDC requirements

Pros

The compensation and benefit packages are excellent. The people are always willing to help each other and are a very friendly group whether it be in your department or other departments. Depending upon what you are interested in doing, MITRE has a position that will work for you and challenge you.

Cons

The work/life balance is not as good for the administrative staff as it is for the professionals. MITRE does not give all government holidays which I find rather strange as the majority of MITRE works for the government. You would think that we would have the same government holidays off.

Pros

The work is very technical, demanding, and important to our National security. The work has an impact that is visible and valued to their customers. Compensation is fair, and at least on par with industry standards.

Cons

You won't "win the lottery" with stock options or other bonuses, but you'll be paid fairly and will be rewarded and recognized for having an impact.
