Pros

MITRE provides very good benefits, a reasonable salary (not location specific), allows telework, and respects the work-life balance we all need. You do get to work on some pretty cool tasks ... if you're lucky. Work environment, support staff and computing equipment is all good to very good which can make your work life much easier. High percentage of staff with advanced degrees.

Cons

The performance review and salary administration is a mess that many try to avoid even dealing with. Management consists of previously good technical people that refuse to be managers and want to keep being technical staff. Management is scared to deliver the bad news or make the tough decisions. If they ignore it, hopefully it will go away. If you aren't part of the in crowd, good luck getting on the good projects or getting anything like independent R&D type activities. But once you've got it, you'll have it year after year. Dead weight stays around for far too long.

Pros

Flexible work environment that allows you to apply your strengths and stretch the application of your skills/knowledge. Ability and expectation that you will think before you blindly act. Ability to engage with senior leaders and proactively recommend changes.

Cons

Uncertain career progression path with inconsistent application of existing criteria. Hiring of experts late in their career with limited motivation to teach and apply their skills. Limited opportunities to attend training with demanding needs of the customer and existing internal policies.
