      Pros

      There is a big push to do important work at MITRE. Constant badgering about "what is MITRE work", versus SETA work. There is pressure to provide "impact" for the sponsor, rather than just run job hours. It is not enough to have a project to work on, you must be providing serious sponsor impact. The retirement program is good and the vacation is good.

      Cons

      The combination of not-for-profit, minimal growth, and very low turnover limit career growth opportunities. I would stay away if young. MITRE provides senior technical advice to the government, and age and experience provide confidence to the clients. Perfect for those at the end of their career who have already been senior managers and don't want the pressure any longer. However, even in those cases, you must have some serious techical ability or specialty.

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, work-life balance, and many onsite conveniences. They have the gold standard when it comes to retirement plans and company matching. Employees are empowered to develop skills and there are many on campus options to learn new subjects. I do give credit for MITRE hiring more recent graduates. They have more work to do in this area though.

      Cons

      Old culture, some assignments may not be sufficiently challenging after awhile. It is difficult to get promoted due to a top heavy management structure.
