Pluspunten
The work can be intellectually challenging and interesting. The people in most part are good to work with. The work life balance is actually important and is adhered to by company policy and culture. Education and training are considered important, the company will provide significant investments, much more than other companies I have worked for previously.
Minpunten
Very much an old boys/gals network, many people have worked at MITRE for more than 20 years, some for more than 30 years. You need to fit in, otherwise you will struggle finding projects. To fit in you have to perform well but not too well, be part of the team, and be careful about making waves. Depending on the project and the task, the work can sometimes be tedious and a boring. Since people have been there for such a long time, MITRE is not a place where you can expect rapid advancement on merit alone.
