      Still recovering after a rough 2025

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      No one seems to be enforcing the in-office mandate. Decent benefits. Good work/life balance.

      Cons

      Finding new work is challenging and it doesn’t appear that more work is coming in soon. The work environment changed dramatically after 4 rounds of layoffs in 2025. Things seem even more unsettled after the recent reorg. Just a big reshuffle with a few new managers. Good people continue to leave and those who remain are not engaged. People are either overworked or completely checked out.

      Great flexibility and interesting projects, but job stability is shaky

      Data scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      Good pay and benefits overshadowed by ineffective management

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits relative to other companies within the health sector. Depending on the project, you will either have no work/life balance or too much of it. There is rarely a happy medium.

      Cons

      Middle management (e.g., PMs and DMs) lack skills beyond managing contracts and have very content or technical expertise. Three to four layers of management reviewers on projects and their salaries will kill a budget leaving very few resources for the technical experts to do their jobs. MITRE is also very expensive to the federal government, charging millions of dollars to simply produce poor quality reports.
