MITRE reviews

Put way too much emphasis on bureaucratic processes than technical innovation. I don't recommend this place for junior engineers wanting to gain design and technical experience. Pretty much all the work is centered on pushing paper. Promotions and advancements are based on nepotism and favoritism. Job titles are often not commensurate with skill and experience. There are no objective metrics to base performance assessments on so evaluations are done subjectively.

As a consultant organization, almost everyone at MITRE focuses on finding flaws with everything they review and not enough time on recommending alternatives or risk mitigation strategies. Many people come here after working in Government or Private Industry (mostly Defense contractors) and they are just interested in pushing paper around. Government employees always complain about working with MITRE because MITRE never produces anything, only paper.
