Job security, with few other perks, little connection to management

Senior multi-discipline systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Job Security - if you're not a poor performer, and have a clearance your job is stable Retirement - The retirement contribution by the employer is better than average (but they keep lowering it over the past 5 years so if that trend continues it may no longer be a pro)

Cons

Most of the time you work at the client site, your manager or boss frequently has no idea what you actually do or how you're performing which makes it nearly impossible to get recognition, raises, or promotions. Salaries and benefits were either stagnant or cut during the time I was there due to the company stating that our rates were higher than other companies.

Clarity And Stability Go A Long Way

Senior multi-discipline systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Work/Life Balance - Mobility (i.e. remote reachback to corporate network) - 401 (a) matching - Certain individuals willing to work with you to succeed In my time at MITRE, when I actually had good MITRE work to focus on, I could easily focus on how to leverage internal resources to provide value to sponsors. In certain difficult situations, there seemed to be a consensus as to providing legitimate opportunities to succeed within the company.

Cons

- Unclear direction in certain work programs - Too much reliance on traditional ways of doing business - Inability to clearly define FFRDC role to most sponsors - No clear direction on progressing from certain managers Seems to be a communication issue among DHs in different divisions. A consistent problem programs are running into is the type of work requested by the sponsors, which in turn puts MITRE in a difficult position when it comes to justifying its requirements in order to support said sponsors. Management needs to be approachable when dealing with issues along with working with employees to get into positions quickly.

A great experience.

Business Outlook

Pros

A flexible environment filled with friendly people who are willing to lend their experience and teamwork. Offers great resources for improvement and has an open work culture.

Cons

Sometimes projects are dropped with little to no warning and I feel that there could be more direction given by the management, but otherwise it is fine. There is nothing really wrong or lacking.
