Pros

* Sense of mission - work there is in the public interest, not just shilling for a buck. * Smart collegues * Very good benefits package * Competitive salary

Cons

* Lack of bonuses or stock options. You trade stability for possible (maybe) bigger compensation. * Not handling remote/hybrid/return-to-office transition very well * C-suite does not communicate well, does not seem to weight employee input very highly

Pros

-On paper, MITRE has the same mission - to be the good faith intermediary between the government and the contracting companies. - Getting to work with and be mentored by some of the smartest engineers you could hope to meet - Historically great benefits ... now average for new employees and below average for those with seniority.

Cons

Where do I start ... - Gas lighting from upper management. Long term employees benefits geot massively cut while multiple new VP positions are created. We're told the cuts are for "equity" but the company managed for decades without those VP positions. Doesn't take much math skills to figure out where the budget for our vacation & community service time went. - Lack of support from middle management. Multiple reports about hostile work conditions due to a customer Chief Engineer were ignored until I took a leave of absence . My MITRE manager had to step in and deal with said Chief Engineer and, miracle of miracles, my entire team was pulled out shortly after. Eight months of reporting that CE and his horrible behavior and my MITRE manager lasted less than four weeks dealing with him. - On your own for finding project coverage. Overhead charge numbers are non-existence and it's up to you, using your own networks, to find decent work. If you can't, you'll be pressured to use your vacation time to cover the shortfalls.
