Pros
* Helping the sponsor is rewarding on a personal level * Good for your career when you leave MITRE - a 3 year MITRE stint on your resume looks good to other companies * Variety of work available is great - you can choose other projects to work on within the company * Benefits are good * Flexible work schedule promotes good work-life balance * You meet many, many smart people
Cons
* You meet many, many smart people who think they're smarter than everyone else * The strange mix in management - which is, many managers who are politically motivated - actually serves to tamp down the talent of many employees and they become afraid to make decisions that could be controversial * The office politics are excessive * Be careful what degree you have - if you do not have a public policy or a tech degree, you will feel your opinion is far less valuable to management * There's a distinct lack of thought diversity in MITRE and sometimes the solutions are like stagnant water

Grow your skills, keep a work life balance, and work with highly intelligent and ethical people

Business Outlook
Pros
Most of the people you work with are extremely sharp and driven to do what is right for the government agencies they serve and the American taxpayer. Work-life balance is very real and everyone is encouraged to take time off and keep their work hours under control. There is constant opportunity for non-traditional "career advancement": working on tasks outside of your experience/degree, training, and collaboration.
Cons
Traditional "Career Advancement" (i.e. promotion) is slow and pay is lower than the for-profit contractor firms. For individuals who need rigorous structure, the highly matrixed environment will be daunting.
