      Pros

      MITRE is primarily a systems engineering oriented company, where much of the work is higher level (requirements, specification, policy, test plans); but there are also opportunities for hands-on work (software development, prototyping, applied research, testing). MITRE has a very big internal research program, where millions of dollars are spent each year on research in a broad number of domain areas.

      Cons

      As a whole MITRE is a “flat” organization and people – even a lower levels – are expected to work without much hand holding. This can be an issue for junior staff where mentoring can be lacking. Due to the focus area of MITRE’s work programs it is fairly top heavy with a large number of senior engineers and managers.

      MITRE - Resting on the laurels of their past

      Pros

      Great Benefits, nobody gets fired, laid back, easy work.

      Cons

      No challenges; lots of talk - not much walk. Talk about dicernable value- - but I don't do anything more than any other support contractor that charges 1/2 what MTIRE charges. NO OPPORTUNITY for advancement. No mentoring. No clear path for promotion. The annual performance review is a joke. I write my own. Folks deciding on whether to give me a pay raise or promotion don't even know me, my work, or my ability. Terrible leadership.

      Pros

      Excellent work/life balance! Rank and file are probably the best, scientifically and technically, to be found in any organization and are eager to share knowledge. Mitre does provide some venues for knowledge management and knowledge sharing.

      Cons

      Management of CCG is probaly the worst of any company anywhere including government. There is absolutely no path or chance for advancement. The yearly review process is a total sham and virtually worthless where employees are not allowed to participate. You are judged by a group of managers that you never react with during the year, who have no (little) knowledge of what you have accomplished. If you do not have BIG BLUE (IBM) on your resume your career at CCG will stop with no further chance of advancement. MITRE, particularly CCG, is turning in to a job shop of senior talent, without the compenastion of a job shop, with no reward(s) for good work!
