Very. MITRE is a really great company

likehelpful

On top of being prestigious, employees are generally well paid and very happy there. They generally look for candidates with masters +. They are just an all around really good company with a very smart workforce.

The MITRE ATT&CK framework is one of the most commonly referenced in cybersecurity, but that said, I don’t have any personal experience with what it’s like working for the actual organization itself. Assume it’s solid given the pervasiveness of their approach.

They are very influential in the cyber space, as others mentioned. But that doesn’t mean they pay well. I usually recommend them as a stepping stone into FAANG cyber roles.

I’m a current 7 year MITRE employee, who started working after graduating college in 1984. MITRE, founded in 1959, is somewhat of an anomaly, which is why many people have not heard of it. First, it looks like a consulting company, but that’s not exactly right, as it is a not-for-profit corporation. MITRE is paid to think real hard about solutions for difficult problems. Our major strength is probably our systems engineering approach to most of the things we’re asked to pursue.

We’ll study a problem, make recommendations, and sometimes that’s the end of it. Other times, we’ll be asked to implement and/or manage a solution. We run a number of Federally Funded Research & Development Centers, or FFRDCs.

Our “customers”, or sponsors, as we call them, are typically government agencies. The bulk of our funding comes from Congress. We have expertise is a very wide variety of subjects, be it related to healthcare, nuclear energy, commercial transportation, cybersecurity, defense, terrorism, justice, and many other topics. More than half of the employees have masters degrees, and around 20% hold doctorate-level degrees. MITRE is primarily in the continental US, but there are employees in Australia, Indonesia, and Europe. Some of the employees have been there for 30+ years, but a good minority were hired within the past 5 years.

Sounds like a great company to work for! I just I was technical enough for their roles 🥲.

They trade off their connections rather than competence.

just don’t give up, maybe next time

How have you never heard of MITRE?! 🤯

We hire all levels, from interns to PhDs.

Been with an Asphalt and Concrete contractor in suburban Chicagoland for a little over 2 years now, and am going into a compensation discussion tomorrow after informing my boss I no longer wish to be on a draw.

Current comp plan is as follows:
Salary- ~48k w/ draw up to about 80k, full OTE with commissions should be ~170000, this is all increased by kickers every 250k in sales that increase commission/draw

My questions is if the draw is removed, how much salary should I be asking for?

Can anyone help me i am have a different situation here i left the job based on a phone conversation with tech Mahindra since they are asking for an immediate joiner. Now after submission of all documents they are not giving proper response .. every time they call me and ask me some documents is missing and some time BG status not received.. i don't what to do ..no job now and even no offer from them.

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

Wanted to share about my job search experience, and happy to answer any questions. Over the last 18 months interviewed with the following companies and failed - McKinsey, BCG, KPMG, Oracle, Google, Invesco, Microsoft, Cisco, VMware, Amazon, North highland, Microfocus, Atlassian, Orange, equifax, and a few others. Most of these are senior level positions, so interviews were tough. Didn’t get the job for one or the other reason. Finally accepted a offer with a large tech company. Keep on trying..
