Pros

Work among one of the brightest engineers, great healthcare and retirement benefits. Flexible schedule and emphasis on Work Life Balance.

Cons

MITRE progressively moved from being apolitical to extreme liberal following any leftist new global order initiatives and leading the charge on controversial unconstitutional health mandates on requiring employees to get the COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, only granting a handful of religious exemptions and not accommodating employees already working off-site as teleworkers. The CEO is arrogant, egotistical, narcissist, that laughed at employees being a number and had no compassion for firing employees who did not comply with the draconian policy days before the Thanksgiving holiday. The executives and leaders, managers, and group leaders did not stop the chatter and mocking of employees and colleagues who did not agree with the company policy. Their motto to be kind is only if you align with the leftist ideology and religion of COVID and FAUCI as their POPE. It created a hostile environment for those who did not agree with the CEO and the executive's motivation to be the leader in vaccines passports.

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!!!
