      An amazing place to work, but not for everyone

      Pros

      A flexible work environment where you can truly set your own path. This can be frustrating if you're looking for a clear cut career track though. Everyone from top to bottom is expected to excel and innovate which provides the challenge I am looking for. The IT infrastructure is amazing and the facilities are amazing (except for a few un-remodeled areas or if you work off the main campus.) There's even a great cafeteria and every office has a window (even if it faces inside--but those are in towards on of many atriums in the buildings.

      Cons

      It can be challenging as a younger employee. A mentoring system is developing, but the quality varies widely from department to department. It can be challenging to "be heard" in the right ways without seniority. Networking is a HUGE part of being successful, which is not everyone's cup of tea.

      Some Interesting technical work, but brown-nosing and favoritism are required for advancement.

      Pros

      The best reasons to work for MITRE are the retirement plan and the flex-time schedule. With the company contribution, an employee is able to contribute over 25% of salary a year to his or her 403(b) and 401(a) plans. Flex-time permits employees to work 40 hours at essentially any time during the week.

      Cons

      The biggest downsides of working at MITRE are that the company is way over-managed, and politics are so predominant that promotion requires a heavy dose of brown-nosing and favoritism. Managers literally market each other through meeting, viewgraphs, and programmatics. Advancement depends on hooking up with a sponsor who gets you promoted regardless of technical competence.
