      Pros

      The company's commitment to public service and looking for the best solutions to government problems means I'm proud of what we do. Its highly collaborative environment, work-life balance, and the quality of colleagues (professionally and personally) coupled with thoughtful managment mean its a place that I enjoy coming to each day. My own work is challenging and my management is supportive, even when things go wrong. The benefits, especially the retirement plan, are competitive, and I think that salaries are fairly computed and administered. I am well equipped with the tools I need to do my job and the general environment is conducive to creativity.

      Cons

      The geographical separation between the offices in the Northern Virginia area and the greater Boston area means that frequent travel is required, which is tiring at best and unbearable on some days. The traffic in the Tysons Corner area is bad and will only get worse. Some of this is mitigated by the company's willingness to let us telecommute, but this is not always possible or desirable. I feel that sometimes senior management is overly political in its decision making, but overall this is not a huge problem. It's hard to write 100 words here because I don't feel that there are very many downsides.

      Pros

      Excellent, committed people who care about doing a job well. I've been here a number of years and am continually pleased with the caliber of people I work with or talk to in MITRE. They are committed to the missions of our sponsoring Government agencies and are passionate about our role in assisting government effectiveness. People work to keep up their skills, aided by substantial tuition support from the company.

      Cons

      Geographic separations make it difficult. Although the company invests in video teleconference facilities for collaboration across distances, it's still hard sometimes to not feel separated.
