Pros

The “people” at MITRE are good and mission focused, especially the tenured people. I think they do a good job of promoting work life balance.

Cons

Leadership is absolutely toxic, out of touch, fiscally irresponsible, and competitive amongst each other. Relationships are transactional and fear-mongering and this culture trickles down to all employees.
