      Pros

      MITRE has an excellent balance between career and personal needs outside the company. They offer flex time and allow working from home to assist with personal needs. MITRE offers competitive pay and multiple options for education. MITRE offers on site education, education reimbursement, and flex time to take classes. MITRE offers several opportunities a year for families to be involved with the work community, such as 'Take you kids to work day', Holiday parties, and opportunities for employees for community service with programs such as offering reading programs to local schools.

      Cons

      MITRE has smaller departments so it is sometimes difficult to grow. People feel they need to transfer jobs in order to get promoted.

      Great company to work for but don't expect great pay, recognition or promotions.

      Pros

      Exciting, interesting and important work supporting our country. Great benefits including a decent match for the 403B retirement and outstanding health care options. OUTSTANDING vacation package with plenty of opportunities to use it. People doing the work are universally excellent. Very bright and motivated people.

      Cons

      Promotions are very poor. Recognition for work is meager at best. Feedback and evaluation system is extremely poor, not fitting the type of work we do, nor the environment in which we work.. Management is generally "hands off" preferring, apparently, not wishing to deal with people problems or issues repeatedly recognized as one of the few downsides for the company.

      MITRE good for interesting work, bad for compensation

      Pros

      Flexible with job opportunities and scheduling Ability to pursue multiple interests. Interesting and innovative work programs.

      Cons

      Poor for compensation and promotions for those deserving. Must do higher level job for significant amount of time (several years) before you are promoted and compensated at the higher level. Many employees work at government work sites in government buildings but we are not giving all government holidays. Occasionally we are forced to take vacation when you can't work because of a gov't holiday.
