Pros
- Work life balance and flexible work hours, but it all depends on the site and project - A lot of smart people around - Some intellectually challenging projects, however you may be frustrated by the lack of impact of our work
Cons
- Very limited opportunities for professional growth and promotion - You will loose your competitive edge and marketability if you stay here too long - Benefits have been eroding to the point they are now average - Mediocre mid level management - the worst I have seen in my career --, incompetent higher level management. A lot of these managers keep telling you stories about their old good days at Booz or Deloitte, but now are no longer willing to work like they used to work at Booz or Deloitte, and simply "parked" at MITRE, waiting for retirement. - Stagnant salaries, not aligned with your amount of work and capabilities. The review process is a joke. There are bunch of people around who just "charge" time, but do not contribute, while you are told that the company is expensive because it spends a lot on R&D.
