Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. Our public-interest mission of solving problems for a safer world would be difficult to meet without the expertise and passion of our incredibly talented and purpose-driven employees like you. The core of MITRE’s story is our people, and we’re incredibly proud of the more than 9,000 creative, multi-talented people who choose to be part of our team. The passion of our people is reflected in numerous ways, such as the more than 270 patents we've been granted through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and the COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition that was honored with a 2021 CIO 100 Award for groundbreaking work in business technology innovation. Our website at https://www.mitre.org/ explores these and many more examples of the passion of our people, who are the heart of MITRE’s work. We deeply appreciate your more than 20 years of service to our company. Thank you for all your contributions that have helped to make a real difference in the world.

Pros

As an FFRDC, MITRE serves the public interest, solving problems for a safer world. Staff at MITRE are mission-oriented, collaborative, and intelligent. The company supports work-life balance within its culture and with benefits. The reimbursement for advanced degrees is substantial.

Cons

People looking for a fast-paced environment with rapid advancement, annual bonuses, or stock options need not apply.

Pros

Traditionally MITRE has been a very stable job where you could work on hard problems for the government outside of the bounds of federal employment. The pay is better than working in government, and the people are highly educated and generally hard working. Also, as a not-for-profit, you can focus on finding the right solutions to government problems without worrying so much about selling your company's products or services.

Cons

As a consulting firm, the same pressures of getting work do apply, and MITRE has traditionally not done as good of a job in working with outside entities or partnering with top organizations, although there is management pressure to do so. In a company of 9000 people, though, it's easy to just think about your skills and your team's potential, and not think about what could be done by partnering with the outside world. That said, if you want to grow at MITRE, you really do have to spend time on work that is not billable to customers, such as writing proposals.
