Pros

A significant amount of MITRE's work is amazing and pushes the US forward with import R&D efforts. MITRE provides amazing education, retirement and healthcare benefits, good pay, and fun projects.

Cons

Too many mid level managers, and has a performance evaluation process which bins a significant amount of the company into an average rating, often treating stellar employees the same as below average contributors.

Pros

Company is run by engineers. If you don't have a business sense and have no interest in it then it will feel just like home.

Cons

Company being run by engineers means that certain business processes seem inefficient, for example, promotions and raises happening 4-5 months after the evaluation process.
