MITRE reviews

Increasing management overhead is taking away from employees. Department management budgets are also decreasing - no charge codes being provided for all hands meetings, less money for training for staff, the number of staff under first-line managers continues to increase while the amount of time they are given to manage stays the same. Employees are left to scrounge for things that are provided routinely at other companies, like a second monitor. Meanwhile more and more VP positions continue to be added, and more upper management is made bonus-eligible. I feel less connected to upper management than I did when I was an entry-level employee, and have heard similar complaints from others.

Compensation is very low - some people leave for a 20% increase and return a few years later for another 20% increase to get to fair market Undefined job roles, wear multiple hats at once Corporate operations (Helpdesk, Security, Infrastructure) is maxed out Unrealistic overtime requirements Executives sometimes forget they're human first, employees second, leaders last Corporate kool-aid drinkers
