Pros

People are the best part of MITRE

Cons

Department Managers bow down to the mission managers. Mission managers control the work. If you work for a department and have a dispute with the mission folks, don't expect your department manager to spend time to get to the root of the dispute. He/she may not be willing to stand up for you. Little "true" teamwork. Most people are focused on making themselves look good and getting a 1 or 2 rating which will result in a pay raise and eventual promotion.
