      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Federally Funded Research and Development Corporation (FFRDC) status with government - quasi-government status with higher than GS salary - excellent benefits - rewards innovative ideas

      Cons

      I get real tired of the politically correct 'diversity training' stuff; however, I suppose that is the same in every corporation these days.

      Great Place for a Long Term Employee

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Dedicated to public service. Because MITRE is not-for profit and has no stockholders, the most effort goes on jobs that are most important to the Government customers. Once you have built up a network of friends among your colleagues, you can find out anything and you canget almost anything done. MITRE is kind to its employees -- not only are the benefits good, but MITRE makes it as easy as possible to get through a personal crisis of health or family. People who have earned trust are actually trusted.

      Cons

      It can be tough to be a newbie, unless you are lucky in having a first-tier manager who is a good mentor. The various constraints imposed by the Government require patience, Some staff are frustrated because promotion is based on value -- which includes not only technical skill and hard work, but also the ability to have impact (i.e. influence others) and the extent to which your particular skills are in demand.

      The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

      Lead engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The Good - outstanding benefits package and work-life balance! Company President and Board of Trustees appear to be making sound strategic moves to position MITRE for future turbulence in the defense industry. The President is keeping employees informed and has received high marks in the employee blog.

      Cons

      The Bad - middle managers who make promotion decisions based on personality and favoritism. The Peter Principle is alive and well at MITRE, although there are some middle managers who are actually good leaders as well.
