We really appreciate your feedback and your more than 4 years of commitment and dedication to MITRE's mission. We are deeply committed to consistently providing competitive benefits that include our top of the line medical, dental, vision, and retirement in addition to many paid leave programs such as parental, caregiver, military, bereavement, and civic time. We also offer a flexible work model that allows for a blended approach of in-office and at-home work options plus our flex-time program where staff can flex their work hours over any given pay period. In providing our benefits, our goal is to create a truly uplifting environment for a talented staff. We focus on supporting them so they can focus on the impactful work that they do – like building MITRE’s HIPE™ Demonstration Lab to battle mis and dis-information, or helping the government assess national-level supply chain vulnerabilities to minimize the impact of potential disruptions, or AI Red Teaming to advance whole-of-nation AI assurance against global adversaries, safeguard the public, protect critical infrastructure, and ensure the continuity of mission deliveries by the United States government.
