Pros

With our new CEO, we are already seeing a positive change in culture and a refocusing on our core mission. Excited about the future! Work-Life balance is real at MITRE Benefits have always been great, especially the 401K plan, and now the PTOB benefit has been improved.

Cons

Senior leadership communications has been a significant issue over the past several years. We are already seeing this change with the new CEO.

Congratulations on more than 20 years at MITRE. We are proud to be a multi-generational organization with employees ranging from just a couple of years on the job to more than 45 years and everything in-between. Communication is a core element of our employee experience, and we are committed to listening to our people and addressing their concerns while balancing our business goals. Our recently extended benefits are one way we are actively responding to the needs of our employees – with expanded, tenure-based time off, the addition of a second paid, flex holiday that employees can use however it best suits their needs (for a total of 9 paid holidays), and greater Caregiver and Parental leave flexibility. As always, we appreciate your feedback.

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!!!
