MITRE Principal Software Development Engineer reviews

Lack of vision and leadership starting with the new CIO down to the directors. The new mantra is "everything AI" but details on what that means is left to the imagination... New CIO is full of buzz words, but simply can not back it up with a vision to get us there. To make matters worse, IT just did a force reduction of some of the brightest thinkers in the organization I can only expect it will get worse. Dwindling benefits for the staff, e.g. assume that your PTOB includes 4 weeks vacation, that gives you 20 hours a year remaining for sick/personal time off... One 3 day illness cuts into your Vacation! Top heavy, seems like a new VP a month

The reviews here sum it up. So many employees don't come to Glassdoor to air their grievances if things are going well. MITRE was once a great company, and the current leadership is slowly degrading everything that MITRE built its brand and reputation on in the past. It could get better if leadership turns over, but I don't see improvements in sight when the leadership points their fingers at the employees as the problem. So many of our best people are leaving, and it already has impacted our customer work. Morale is at an all time low, and each time another good person leaves it is another shot to the heart.
