      Great benefits, lack of upward mobility

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent compensation package and working on cool technologies. Working on behalf of agencies responsible for the security of this country is great.

      Cons

      Management needs to improve recognition of employees. The dartboard approach to promotions kills morale causes the good employees to find work elsewhere.

      Great Company for Mission-Oriented, Highly Educated People

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart, well-educated employees who are "in it for the mission" and the long-term (not focused on personal gain, wealth accumulation, etc.); stable environment with great respect for employees; good work/life balance.

      Cons

      Not an environment for people with an extreme sense of urgency or desire to change the environment quickly; success at MITRE demands collaboration, patience and taking the long view; staff who don't succeed tend to be over-focused on individual achievement and recognition, instead of the greater good of the team or enterprise; change does not come quickly or easily at MITRE (which is also a good thing).

      Fortune Top 100 for a reason...

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      MITRE is very unique. It represents a blend of the best aspects of the private sector (dynamic, passion, competitive), academia (intellectual energy) and government (mission, complex problems and job security). Highly recommend it to all potential employment candidates.

      Cons

      Very few. Promotion rate is not high and given the great work force, they is a lot of competition. Pay is average for their locales and oddly, they deny their is pay premium for cleared individuals.
