Good all-around place to work

Lead multi-discipline systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Diverse types of work; many project areas; diverse sponsors; flexible hours; telecommuting opportunities; educational opportunities; information sharing; access to data; important national issues. MITRE offers educational and advancement opportunities for entry-level people to mid-career people to military or other retirees, and focuses on tailoring the opportunities to the needs of the individual. People are not 'pigeon-holed' to work in specific areas, as is the case in many industrial organizations, but have the flexibility to support other parts of the company if there is mutual benefit.

Cons

Mid-level managers work on technical projects rather than managing; some types of work restricted by FFRDC requirements

Good place to work, would be great if management paid attention to employees instead of upper levels of management.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benfits are good. Work/life balanced is respected.

Cons

Management never gets to really know their employees. Traditional engineering company promoting the best engineers into management even when they do not have "leadership" capabilities.

Sometimes its great, sometimes its awful

Lead multi-discipline systems engineer

Business Outlook

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.
