      Fabulous place to work at

      Senior systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible hours, easiness to telecommute, great quality of life programs, TechTalks, brown bags, a great environment for knowledge sharing. Most people here have degrees of higher education, many, many Ph.D's, experts in different fields. Benefits and compensations are great, they really value their employees and every single worker is treated with respect. The availability of resources allows employees to utilize their fields of expertise and pursue their own interests through different sponsoring programs. The overall atmosphere is great, there's a lot of commitment from each individual.

      Cons

      None that I can think of, maybe besides the location requires getting through heavy traffic to and from work.

      One of the best, but nobody's perfect

      Lead software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fantastically diverse work -- anything and everything you can imagine is happening somewhere within MITRE. Great benefits, terrific internal communication (both management to employee and peer-to-peer). Non-profit, so the people who're there are actually trying to make a difference, rather than simply grow business.

      Cons

      Again, lots of great work -- if you can find it and get on the team. Also, like any government contractor, you're stuck when your customer doesn't utilize you properly or fails to renew the contract. Advancement and raises are well-calculated, but perhaps too much so -- very formulaic, to the point where if you're not a "squeaky wheel" you don't get noticed and then not promoted. Salary was about average.

      Really fun place to work

      Senior systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great workplace environment, encourages collaboration and new ideas. Easy to move between projects and keep things interesting. Compensation is adequate, retirement options are phenomenal. Management is highly ethical and makes sound decisions across the board. Flexible work hours and work environment and very friendly people.

      Cons

      Limited compensation and upward mobility. Lack of visibility across industry compared to other major for-profit companies.
