Pros
- Working with an exceptionally talented technical staff - Mac laptops are offered, which can improve productivity
Cons
- There is an expectation that technical staff search to find new projects they can split their time on to remain fully allocated. If you encounter difficulty doing this then you either get poor assignments or pushed out as there would not be enough assigned work. Those working at remote site locations outside of the main two campuses in Bedford and McLean are likely to encounter more challenges. To mitigate this con, consider starting your MITRE career at one of the two campus locations at least for the first year. - Significant and impactful erosion of benefits during the past year (notably, a benefit was taken away within 3 weeks of starting which partially formed the basis of selecting MITRE) - Remote work policy changed from 1-day/week in the office to 3 or 4-days/week in the office over the past year; however, there are simply not enough offices to accomodate the influx of people. This leads to double or tripling up on offices, which can tank productivity if you're not able to maintain concentration
