Comp won't be high; old school culture; expect slower mobility.

I see a lot of high level strategy docs authored by them that result in government wide policy/requirement changes. I have yet to see any of their teams doing any brain dead staff aug work (e.g. meeting facilitation) that B4 shamelessly bid on. Overall, good firm.

As someone who has worked there for over 10 years, I can assure you Mitre does a ton of staff aug. They will try to tell you differently, but I have seen them push SETA companies out to build out their presence in an office — especially in senior areas. They are all about having their fingers in everything, but not necessarily delivering anything.

Basically, YMMV, depending on whether you are on customer ("sponsor")-facing side or technical side, your immediate management, your speciality. Best for early career and late career. Hours - whatever you feel like doing. There are people who barely put in 9-5, others get very involved and have no work life balance. There is no real pressure in either direction. There is almost no variable part of compensation, and none at all until you are at Principal level. Great pick of projects. Easy to move between organizations.

Happy to discuss.

I have an upcoming screen with MITRE. Would be happy to pick your brain on total comp & movement throughout the org.

I remember a nice building and getting lowballed by them a long time ago, haven’t looked back since

Not a move I would make. Meh compensation, lack of mobility, and on high end of hours.

I put them in the lower tier with the likes of CNA, LMI, and so on. Comp isn’t coming close to the big names. (Assuming you’re in the DC area). They tried to recruit me in the 80-90k TC range last month.

In truth, there are parts of MITRE business around public sector that are nothing like the engineering work done for the DoD, and closer to management consulting, and even staff augmentation. I have many friends at Lincoln, and we all agree that average technical quality of Lincoln work is higher, but MITRE's access to a much wider set of sponsors is also attractive. It's a tradeoff. If someone only sees the commodity consulting side, they may say it's nothing like Lincoln.

Their retirement matching is 100% up to nearly 20%…so add that to your total comp

DC and Lexington like 2 different companies. DC not great, slow moving, slow progression. Lexington had longer projects, mostly military, much more engineering focused. Pay in Lexington was better.

Reasonable base compensation expectations for regional general counsel position (direct report to CLO)? From what I can tell, company revenue is $500M - $1B (privately held company, so tough to know); construction industry (infrastructure / energy / mining); midwest headquarters.
