Disappointing

Pros

Competitive pay, great benefits and work/life balance, flexible schedule

Cons

- Management is overly incompetent, reactionary, and has poor vision. - MITRE very top heavy with executives who are functionally useless. - No real deliverables, just a paperwork job. - MITRE work adds very little value to the government programs they support. - Upper echelon consists of spin doctors (especially HR) who are experts at managing the company's image.

Pros

I am glad there is a place for second career government and military personnel. MITRE has many of us who worked for agencies with successful careers. This is a comfortable position to work now in a government contractor role with full retirement benefits. The facility is modern and up-to-date and I am providing similar management type services as my previous career.

Cons

Not clear the specific role MITRE play since I am providing similar work as government agency managerial-type jobs, a lot of back and forth, which should be done by my previous peers. The internal technology folks are pedestrian and not scientific behind the cover; it is difficult to get a straight technical answer which can be found on scientific web sites when I was with the government. While I will be getting another retirement, I am seriously thinking this is a borderline ethic question not for my pay grade.
