Pros

Work life balance was great. 401K plan and PTO was excellent. Most of all I miss my colleagues at Mitre.

Cons

Way too many layers of management. Managers are overpaid for what they do for the customers. The Mitre rates are way too high and it is cheaper to hire contractors. The FFRDC message is over-rated. Too many old and overpaid employees without new ideas.

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.
