Pros

You can generally vary your work to maintain interest. Great benefits, time off and work/life balance. Really smart co-workers who are generally willing to help you learn.

Cons

The company is extremely risk adverse, to a fault. There is a quite a bit of bureaucracy. Older culture and workforce that can be tough at times for younger employees.

Pros

great atmosphere, where people are really proud of the work, and take it very seriously. Lots of opportunities to get involved in diverse work programs, involving lots of domains. You are constantly sourrounded by very smart people.

Cons

As mentioned in other posts, the promotion process is kind of a joke. They claim there is a technical track and a management track, but in reality the only way to advance is through the management track. Also, they sometimes fall too much in love with themselves, thinking that MITRE work is the only quality product out there

Pros

The diverse work program allows one to pick and choose interesting problems to work on. This is a very nice way to experience many types of problems.

Cons

The work can be a bit slow at times, and MITRE corporate culture at the main sign doesn't always appreciated offsite demands.
