Pros

Serving in the Public /National Interests

Cons

When I chose to join MITRE, I was highly incented to do so because the company had pride in "speaking truth to power." At the time of my departure, MITRE had become a politically-oriented organization that focused on supporting the opinions of those in power, rather than providing dispassionate engineering excellence. The takeover by Social Justice Warriors rather than engineers made this a compromised organization.
