      Pros

      Excellent benefits, work-life balance, and many onsite conveniences. They have the gold standard when it comes to retirement plans and company matching. Employees are empowered to develop skills and there are many on campus options to learn new subjects. I do give credit for MITRE hiring more recent graduates. They have more work to do in this area though.

      Cons

      Old culture, some assignments may not be sufficiently challenging after awhile. It is difficult to get promoted due to a top heavy management structure.

      A well rounded company with lots of diversity and opportunity

      Pros

      - Nearly limitless opportunity to do cool and unique things - I don't think it's possible to burn out. Every time I've gotten tired of something, I was able to easily move onto a different project - Culture encourages sharing of skills cross-pollination. If you know of someone doing something cool, it's usually not too hard to shift some of your time to that task, even if that task is "owned" by a completely different department. They call it softshelling. - Benefits are pretty good. 4 weeks of vacation time, flexible work hours, and the insurance options are all great.

      Cons

      - Somewhat older company. As a mid-20, it is a bit lonely at times. Everyone is awesome and friendly, and many of my co-workers are young-at-heart, but sometimes it's nice to be with people my own age - Benefits seem to be slowly going down-hill as the company gets older - The closer you get to the government space, the more red-tape and BS you have to deal with. - It is very difficult to get fired at MITRE. Too often I've seen people with little skill get held onto for no good reason. Once one project team gets tired of them and ousts them, they are just moved onto something else. - Base salary isn't necessarily the best, but the cool opportunities and benefits mostly make up for it.
