      Great work-life balance, but not a fast track career wise.

      Pros

      MITRE culture encourages a work-life balance, and that's not just lip service. Working long hours is not required and most people work at or slightly over 40 hours per week. The benefits at MITRE are good and the retirement plan is particularly generous. The employer contribution to total compensation is around 10% of salary, and although the health plan is great, the premiums are higher than elsewhere.

      Cons

      MITRE is a very pleasant place to work, but that comes at a cost. Promotions at MITRE are few and far between and raises are paltry (the annual raise for an average performing employee can be less than the cost-of-living adjustment). Despite that, the great work-life balance encourages employees to stay,

      Fabulous place to work at

      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.

      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.
