Pros
MITRE has a very dedicated and professional workforce, and tackles some of the most difficult and rewarding problems for the country. The people at MITRE are our biggest asset. Working with great people makes the day fly by. Freedom to be self-directed and chose from a broad array of projects and tasks makes working at MITRE like few others.
Cons
Extremely high-quality workforce (okay, think about it). Being dedicated to a specific area or project can lead to being 'pigeon holed' as competent in that area or project. There is too much emphasis on the internal research project competitions. These competitions waste much time outside the grants to work the research, and yield little results.
