Pros

Meaningful work, GREAT colleagues, visibility into many programs, access across the government. A lot of opportunity to pursue your interests and build the career you want.

Cons

The reviews here sum it up. So many employees don't come to Glassdoor to air their grievances if things are going well. MITRE was once a great company, and the current leadership is slowly degrading everything that MITRE built its brand and reputation on in the past. It could get better if leadership turns over, but I don't see improvements in sight when the leadership points their fingers at the employees as the problem. So many of our best people are leaving, and it already has impacted our customer work. Morale is at an all time low, and each time another good person leaves it is another shot to the heart.

Pros

It's been a great place to work. Flexible work environment, interesting projects, smart colleagues, and opportunities to grow career. Collaborative environment. Good, not great, benefits.

Cons

Benefits are going downhill. Recently, they decided to take vacation from staff that had been at MITRE over 9 years and give this time to staff with less tenure so that we can all be "equal". Salary can be competitive but with a few exceptions, raises are tiny and there are no bonuses. Communications about major changes aren't always clear or transparent.
