      Pros

      Friendly coworkers - very few people are hostile Mission is good

      Cons

      Compensation is very low - some people leave for a 20% increase and return a few years later for another 20% increase to get to fair market Undefined job roles, wear multiple hats at once Corporate operations (Helpdesk, Security, Infrastructure) is maxed out Unrealistic overtime requirements Executives sometimes forget they're human first, employees second, leaders last Corporate kool-aid drinkers

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. Input from our employees—whether through Pulse surveys, lunches with the CEO, focus groups, Glassdoor, or other forums—informs many conversations that help guide our thinking and the actions we are taking at all levels of management and leadership. We are investing significantly in our people, tools and systems to ensure we provide best-in-class resources for our talent. This cycle of feedback and action is critical to help us create the talent experience we aspire to at MITRE, across all sites/locations and functional organizations.

      Pros

      Great diversity, quality of life and staff. Been with MITRE over 20 years.

      Cons

      Too many VP,s that are not held accountable. Company recently RIF'd 24 staff from FAA FFRDC, due to dropping gov't funding...yet company has significant number of VPs all sucking off of overhead. No attempt to manage money within the "leadership" ranks. Last year company went through a major business transformation...that failed...yet, VPs held staff accountable for reporting on a subpar system that lasted over 12 months. Could not even get business data to report to gov't for over 2 months, yet, person who was in charge of the business transformation is still at MITRE. If this happened to any other MITRE employee, they would've been gone. Oddly enough the person in charge of the business transformation is the CEOs brother. Amazing how that happens. He'll probably get a bonus because of his substandard performance. MITRE recently invested in opening up an office in Australia. All on company overhead. significant large numbers of VPs travelling out to "visit"...yet company has the audacity to reduce benefits as part of cost cutting measures. Company has now taken on a "for profit" mentality. It's all about delivery... so VPS and GMs can spend, spend, spend. Board of Directors should take a good look at what is happening and make some swift changes from the CEO on down. BOD should also implement an independent IG like entity to investigate what is seeming like waste, fraud and abuse by CEO, GMs and VPs. Time for the Fat Cats to get purged!!!
