Pros

Note: I work at an off-site so i do not get to experience what my colleagues experience at the main east coast sites. -Flexibility and work/life balance is amazing, they value taking time off and most managers work with you so you can get a work schedule that benefits yourself and them. -Most of the work is pretty interesting, it varies from site to site but i find that the aerospace stuff is pretty great. -Good benefits package and education assistance program -If you want to participate in any professional development activities (conferences, certs, classes), it is usually easy to get approval.

Cons

-Red Tape by the truckloads. -Some managers are more political then technical and their decisions greatly impact your work. There has been times where i feel like im working for reason since the current project will change dramatically after one meeting. -Working at a site greatly limits the amount and type of work you get as compared to our HQ. -Managers can sometimes be overworked which limits the mentoring opportunities they can give to us juniors

We are pleased to hear you enjoy MITRE’s work-life balance, benefits and educational assistance offerings. Management is currently looking at how best to make more roles available enterprise-wide as opposed to center- and site-specific.

Pros

Lots of training opportunities, great work-life balance, flexible hours, good benefits. I actually look forward to going into work every day to work on the multiple projects I support.

Cons

It feels like it is dominated by older management that doesn't always seem to quite understand the needs of the younger employees. Attrition lately seems to be a theme, but that also gives more opportunities for those of us who stick around to turn it around.

Pros

Very flexible work opportunities and great work/life balance. May not compensate as well as other companies in the same area, but the benefits more than make up for it.

Cons

Career progression in the traditional sense is very slow.
