Pros

Great culture and people Flexible work life Sponsor driven work

Cons

Middle Management Favoritism (Department Managers, Directors) Stop the mass layoff madness. Stop sacrificing your troops. Make leaders responsible. Involve project leaders in the decision making process when doing RIFs. Department managers not doing this to protect their favorite employees. Labs Leadership doing this frequently. Audit them to protect the right people. Laying off people who are fully covered on direct sponsor work and keeping favorites who charged multiple hours of overhead / indirect. Laying off Engineers and keeping non engineering majors floating through this ... Not acceptable if your new vision aligns with making MITRE a SYSTEMS ENGINEERING COMPANY fornthe future. Please check LABS Leadership decisions. Incompetence at Director and multiple Department Level decision making.

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!!!
