Pros

I will miss working with some of the people, who were part of the "Old MITRE".

Cons

Under previous leadership this company used to be an amazing organization because they used to care about their employees. We used to win awards for being one of the best companies to work for. The retention rate is extremely high and MITRE does not care to keep you. They have lost so many incredible, talented people and under this new leadership, there attitude is don't let the door hit you on your way out. MITRE was never this way. They used to care. The current leadership cares nothing about employees who have tenure. Here's the huge disconnect -Before I begin, I worked at MITRE for over a decade, therefore I have no issues with changes. Change is Good if it benefits everyone! After all MITRE is MITRE because of the employees! Here's where the disconnect, MITRE has hired several external employees who do NOT know nor understand how this organization works. MITRE used to treat ALL employees with RESPECT. Although a large organization it used to once feel like a family/team working together to deliver outstanding quality work to our sponsors. Those days are long gone. As for me, it was time for me to go. When you undervalued, disrespected, unappreciated, it's time for you to choose you!

Pros

I’ve had a very positive experience working at MITRE. The people here are incredibly intelligent, collaborative, and mission-focused. There is a strong culture of knowledge sharing, and I’ve enjoyed learning from so many talented coworkers across the organization. The Talent Acquisition leadership team has been outstanding. Alicia, Rachel, Manda, and Mindy have created a supportive and empowering environment, and they genuinely care about their teams and the candidate experience. Their leadership, accessibility, and willingness to invest in others make a real difference. MITRE offers meaningful work, a healthy work-life balance, and opportunities to continue growing professionally.

Cons

As with any large organization, processes can sometimes move slowly, and navigating a matrixed environment may take time. However, the collaborative culture and supportive leadership help make these challenges manageable.
