      Great Company for Mission-Oriented, Highly Educated People

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart, well-educated employees who are "in it for the mission" and the long-term (not focused on personal gain, wealth accumulation, etc.); stable environment with great respect for employees; good work/life balance.

      Cons

      Not an environment for people with an extreme sense of urgency or desire to change the environment quickly; success at MITRE demands collaboration, patience and taking the long view; staff who don't succeed tend to be over-focused on individual achievement and recognition, instead of the greater good of the team or enterprise; change does not come quickly or easily at MITRE (which is also a good thing).

      Best place I've ever worked.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Close to the mission. Engaged on the top IT-related national challenges in partnership with the top government players. Unlike contractors, who compete for work, the government competes for MITRE support. MITRE puts the public interest and the mission first, along with its people. Sharing and teaming are remarkable. Helping each other is the corporate culture. Numerous nationally known experts. Challenging technical problems. Opportunities to make a difference. Great retirement benefits.

      Cons

      Occasional overconfidence at the top. Sometimes slow to change. Some old-time seniors need to be shuffled along to make way for young blood. In some areas, you have to become a manager to get promoted past the middle ranks. Others areas have rubust, career-long technical promotions with no need to become a manager to move up.
