Pros

My scientist and engineer fellow workers are dedicated people.

Cons

The MITRE organization is not well structured and managed. We lack key capable people to meet our sponsor needs and many positions are filled by eager and confident people who lack the knowledge to help our customers' project to improve performance, just look at MITRE's past participation in various boards, committees, and projects; there were no significant impact in process nor results, but we keep our mouth shut because this is a VERY political cut-throat and profit-oriented company.

We're proud that our team combines first-rate technical and organizational skills with a strategic understanding of our sponsors' needs. We also pride ourselves on fostering an environment that supports wide-ranging thinking with a practical bent. We've helped our sponsors advance the state of the art in critical areas including GPS, air traffic control, mobile technologies, cybersecurity, and healthcare IT. We're proud of this record of teamwork and accomplishment. Our sponsors regularly tell us they are happy with the value we add and the contributions we make to their missions. Their satisfaction has allowed us to become one of the largest operators of federally funded research and development centers in the United States. We are proud to have many employees who recommend working at MITRE to their friends and family – over half of our hires come through employee referrals. We suggest that you reach out to an HR representative to discuss your discontent with management.
