Pros

Friendly coworkers - very few people are hostile Mission is good

Cons

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

Thank you for sharing your perspective. Input from our employees—whether through Pulse surveys, lunches with the CEO, focus groups, Glassdoor, or other forums—informs many conversations that help guide our thinking and the actions we are taking at all levels of management and leadership. We are investing significantly in our people, tools and systems to ensure we provide best-in-class resources for our talent. This cycle of feedback and action is critical to help us create the talent experience we aspire to at MITRE, across all sites/locations and functional organizations.

Great place to work before the Purges.

Pros

The old MITRE, I miss thee. There used to be a culture of investment in employees. Management meant it, too. The talent level also used to be quite high. It's dropping now that we're pushing out people who weren't self-promoters but were world-class experts in their field. Without the old hands to learn from, what's going to motivate the young?

Cons

We've had recent layoffs and firings "for performance" that actually have to do with senior management monitoring people's social media accounts and getting rid of the ones whose political beliefs the managers personally disagree with. A lot of this is people just being horrible because, in the Age of Trump, they can. Although not everything MITRE does is related to the DoD, there's definitely a DoD-driven culture here, and it's only getting worse. Finally, this practice of getting rid of people who are about to retire, or pushing people out when mild disabilities are discovered, is the opposite of what MITRE used to stand for.
