      Not For the Young

      Senior multidisciplinary systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of different work, if you get bored, move on to a different task. Lots of travel if you want it. Great benefits. Free to work un-supervised.

      Cons

      Promotions are not clearly defined. Poor management. Poor review process. Poor guidance.

      Pros

      MITRE is primarily a systems engineering oriented company, where much of the work is higher level (requirements, specification, policy, test plans); but there are also opportunities for hands-on work (software development, prototyping, applied research, testing). MITRE has a very big internal research program, where millions of dollars are spent each year on research in a broad number of domain areas.

      Cons

      As a whole MITRE is a “flat” organization and people – even a lower levels – are expected to work without much hand holding. This can be an issue for junior staff where mentoring can be lacking. Due to the focus area of MITRE’s work programs it is fairly top heavy with a large number of senior engineers and managers.

      MITRE - Resting on the laurels of their past

      Pros

      Great Benefits, nobody gets fired, laid back, easy work.

      Cons

      No challenges; lots of talk - not much walk. Talk about dicernable value- - but I don't do anything more than any other support contractor that charges 1/2 what MTIRE charges. NO OPPORTUNITY for advancement. No mentoring. No clear path for promotion. The annual performance review is a joke. I write my own. Folks deciding on whether to give me a pay raise or promotion don't even know me, my work, or my ability. Terrible leadership.
