Good Work Life Balance

Pros

The work life balance is great. There is a lot of room to grow, and the direct management definitely understands the struggles of working in new fields and the need for a lot of research time.

Cons

The company values individuals who plan more corporate events over the individuals that work and produce great tools/ research.

Pros

If you're self-motivated, behave like an adult, and are ready to work hared AND have a great work-life balance, this is the place to be! I also love how diligently we defend our freedom from conflicts of interest.

Cons

If you work remotely and don't plug in (deeply!) with people on-site at the sites, you might end up frantically searching for work if your current project goes away. Just be sure to make friends and stay visible - don't embed TOO much!

Pros

MITRE works on interesting and challenging problems for our government sponsors. Great work/life balance - little to no overtime is expected. MITRE management cares about and invests in employees' careers and development. The culture is devoted to providing good R&D to help out the US government and taxpayers. Excellent benefits for the industry: pay, retirement matching, healthcare, facilities, and time off.

Cons

As a government FFRDC there are lots of bureaucratic policies, mostly imposed contractually by the government. Additionally as a hierarchical matrix organization, employees often have to deal with "lots of bosses."
