Pros

Good pay and benefits with a work-life balance that is better than most. The company does invest in its infrastructure and its internal websites allow employees to help themselves to making collaboration connections and find interesting work.

Cons

Directors and officers have lost their way and lack credibility with the workforce. They've transformed the company from one that sought to work in the public's interest with a strong ethical compass to one that chased after arbitrary officer initiatives that seem more aligned to officer career growth than aiding the sponsor. Sponsors seem content to allow this and maintain a hands off approach to checking the MITRE claims of impact, even when evidence is that the help was marginally impactful at best

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.
