      "Good Growth" ... for whom? - Anonymous employee MITRE Employee Review

      Pros

      Wonderful facilities and amenities--they provide a 'home away from home." Good corporate communications structure--particularly MAID displays, and informative intranet with intuitive searches, and well-organized information on people and projects. Many technically gifted employees that take their roles as trusted advisors to the sponsor very seriously. Despite rumblings, health and retirement benefits are still excellent.

      Cons

      Corporate narcissism. There is a palpable preoccupation with self-identifying, re-branding, re-orging, synergizing, silo-smashing ...and other trite management-consultant-inspired hyphenates. More disturbing is the rampant cliques that have become the sole avenue for access to good project opportunities, and the primary basis for promotions. There are some very deep pockets of misogyny and nepotism that have stalled careers, and inspired once dedicated and motivated employees to go elsewhere.

      Pros

      - Exceptional flexibility to chart your own professional path, allowing you to focus heavily on technical delivery or pivot into management as you see fit. - A wide variety of projects across different domains, offering plenty of opportunities to dive into interesting and impactful work. - The day to day environment is elevated by genuinely friendly, intelligent, and collaborative coworkers.

      Cons

      - Recent significant reductions in force have taken a visible toll on the workforce, leaving many employees feeling jaded and worn down. - As the work program contracts, there is a growing tendency to simply do whatever sponsors request rather than providing the objective, independent guidance the company is known for. - The internal job market can be incredibly difficult to navigate. If you do not have a strong personal network within the company, finding billable work can feel almost impossible. - The cultural environment is not uniform. Your overall job satisfaction will vary dramatically depending on the specific division or group you land in.
