Pros
Decent pay, but compared to other companies definitely on the lower end. Depending on the supervisor, good work life balance.
Cons
I have not had a great experience currently at MITRE. I have been dealing with a dictatorial supervisor who constantly works to micromanage all aspect of our lives, and the company culture is extremely political. You could be a superstar of an employee but unfortunately if you are not friends with the right people, you will NEVER get a promotion. The current corporate side of the company run by Jason P. have completely destroyed the once former objective interview process into a fully subjective promotion system. Corporate complains about offering employees free food as well as other services free compared to us having to pay for them (pre-covid we had to pay for all food in cafeteria) however considering they are going on and on about wanting to compete in the private sector and have been slashing our retirement benefits, planning on removing the free food and other amenities, I just don't see how anyone in this day and age would pick mitre when benefits are now not only on part retirement and health with any other company, other companies offer stock options and further room for growth. The mitre today is not the same mitre I came too 3 years ago, and its unfortunate to see the current corporate leadership destroy the company.
