Pros
MITRE leads in opportunities to work with new technologies and provides a platform to really make a change in our community and overall security of our country. I have worked with brilliant people and learned a ton. Also the work life balance is the best I have ever experienced.
Cons
The only downside is that some of the corporate leadership tends to overstep in enforcing policy. The recent covid policies enforcing vaccinations and denying religious exemptions for teleworkers with no outside contact I believe was handled very poorly. The leadership caved immediately over these demands from the gov't and did not even consider standing up in support of the many individuals within the company that were going to be affected. It is in my opinion that MITRE lost many thought leaders and future thought leaders in industry due to poor management.
