      Pros

      As in many other reviews, I have found the company benefits to be very good. The retirement program has continued to provide matching even during the current economic downturn. Cost of the healthcare plans have increased somewhat during the years I have been here but we have maintained most of our coverage without a succession of double digit increases year after year after year.

      Cons

      Across the whole of the company, the company culture seems to suffer from a multiple personality disorder. Sponsored ratings of the company as a place to work are high but some groups do not fit this description at all. The primary culprit is middle management. To be fair, this is not the norm. But the choice by upper-middle and senior management to not get involved allows some individuals to set up fiefdoms where they bully their staff, siphon off the best work and pursue their own personal agendas. The best advice I can give to someone considering working at MITRE is to do everything you can to avoid one of these groups.

      Pros

      MITRE has an excellent reputation in the federal gvernment. The name itself brings in new opportunities, and is good for your resume. MITRE is rebranding itself as a systems engineering resource for the governemnt. A good thing because this skill is in high demand. You don't need to be an engineer, but you wil lfit in if you are a systematic and collaborative technical thinker with altruistic and academic leanings. There are many opportunities for diverse assignments if you seek them out. "Work-Life balance" is not just a HR slogan but a true MITRE value. There are plenty of workaholics but they are doing what they enjoy. No one is forced to slave away at proposals on the weekend or market new business opportunities. You can really serve as an honest broker to the government. A good place for mid/late-career techie professionals wanting to help the government.

      Cons

      Promotions and lateral transfers are difficult. Management tends to be comprised of introverted technical types who have few management or people skills. The company is becoming top-heavy with integration directors and thought leaders who have lost touch with what is going on at the operational level. Site employees, even those with high clearances, are getting overlooked. Not a good place to work if you are a MBA graduate, ambitious, or entrepreneurial.
