Pros
The people and the mission were the best parts of MITRE. Additionally, the organization also had a substantial amount of tech for project support.
Cons
There was a serious lack of mentorship, direction, and transparency. The company had too much focus on 'good growth' for a non-profit during Jason Providakes's tenure as CEO. The executive leadership was out of touch, stuck in the 'old ways' of doing things. The individuals in control of approving internal research and development funding showed clear favoritism toward certain people.
