Pros

New CEO and senior leadership seem to be trying their best to stabilize the company.

Pros

MITRE Corporation is an FFRDC, so nonprofit organization that helps innovate, solve tough technical problems, and speed government change. So meaningful work with super smart and talented people.

Cons

Can be a challenge to maintain consistent work because we are prohibited from competing by statute, so business development is not really done. That means being somewhat at the mercy of shifting Congressional allowances for FFRDCs.
