Pros

There are smart people and occasionally interesting work here. Wonderful infrastructure for remote work, but limited willingness to fully embrace this next-normal. Good security practices within the infrastructure. Pay is decent if you come here to start, but suffers wage inflation issues as you stay.

Cons

MITRE is a company in transition & likely decline. Some of the changes are due to COVID and some are due to an opportunistic CEO that is leveraging the situation to pivot the company to a REVENUE-FIRST model. The company is positioning itself to be a competitor to consulting firms such as Booz Allen Hamilton or Deloitte. They are not yet competitive in this field. Most of the employees are not seeking this new environment. Some employees are trapped by age or skill-atrophy. Some don't know any better (yet).

Pros

The work is very unique and we are working in the public interest. We get to act as a trusted third party which allows third parties to trust us with their IP in order to perform more accurate research. You can do work for both government and industry and you can make contributions to the ever-expanding ATT&CK framework. The benefits are fantastic and the 401k match more than makes up for any other shortcomings.

Cons

There are some barriers to execution because some at the company are still stuck in the government mindset of moving at a snails pace and not taking risk. Additionally, there is a push by many people at the company to improve diversity and inclusion, however, there is more that leadership could do to enable success.
