      Business Outlook

      Don't work at a site

      Lead multi-discipline systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Keep a happy face and you'll be fine. Go along and get along is easy enough. Great if you like constant change and highly "dynamic" environments. As a manager, you will not be held accountable if you are modestly clever.

      Cons

      MITRE doesn't pay competitively for some sites; site work is just that work any other contractor is likely to handle. MITRE doesn't maintain "differentiation" as its core values would lead you to believe. No longer refuses work that isn't "MITRE work". Very limited capability to perform middle-management functions, while counter-intuitively being very top heavy in senior personnel. Poor communication and flexible ethics can be found in some parts of MITRE.

      Cut dead wood, not benefits

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work/life balance, good retirement matching.

      Cons

      Lots of incompetent and non-technical managers for an engineering company that is one of the "best places to work." Limited feedback going up the chain (no 360) so terrible managers and department heads tend to stick around forever (as others have said, they'd be basically unemployable anywhere else). Lots of talk about ethics and values but very little behind it when bad things actually happen.
