Pros

Work with higher level sponsors, if you are good. MITRE Institute for training. Previously good benedits.

Cons

As the other reviews said, no promotions are available. Salarieis are languished. Management is old and stogy. Would never make it in a commercial environment. They're not going anywhere, however. Too much administration, no marketing.

Pros

The best place I've work that takes work-life balance seriously. They do take care of the employees. Great benefits and flexibility, despite the fact that we are a not-for-profit.

Cons

a bit laid back and low key

Pros

Flexible work arrangements; steady work; strong business development. A lot of the work has become very boring.

Cons

Posted AC job categories and responsibilities don't match actual promotions. It does not matter what you do as long as you kiss up to the right manager. Employees are punished for requesting guidance or understanding on why they are not advancing by being told they are only out for themselves despite feedback from the same managers that the way to advance is to work hard and be proactive. Mixed messages lead to great confusion.
