      MITRE, great place for a career after retirement

      Senior information systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Job stability, flexible work hours, telework.

      Cons

      As a consultant organization, almost everyone at MITRE focuses on finding flaws with everything they review and not enough time on recommending alternatives or risk mitigation strategies. Many people come here after working in Government or Private Industry (mostly Defense contractors) and they are just interested in pushing paper around. Government employees always complain about working with MITRE because MITRE never produces anything, only paper.

      An amazing place to work, but not for everyone

      Senior software systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A flexible work environment where you can truly set your own path. This can be frustrating if you're looking for a clear cut career track though. Everyone from top to bottom is expected to excel and innovate which provides the challenge I am looking for. The IT infrastructure is amazing and the facilities are amazing (except for a few un-remodeled areas or if you work off the main campus.) There's even a great cafeteria and every office has a window (even if it faces inside--but those are in towards on of many atriums in the buildings.

      Cons

      It can be challenging as a younger employee. A mentoring system is developing, but the quality varies widely from department to department. It can be challenging to "be heard" in the right ways without seniority. Networking is a HUGE part of being successful, which is not everyone's cup of tea.
