Poor communication, hurtful changes

Recommend

Pros

There's a great opportunity of make an impact and to do work you want to do. You can learn and grow and change career directions, if wanted.

Cons

Corporate management has rolled out a series of poorly communicated changes over the past couple of years. All of these changes have been detrimental to employees but advertised as "good" or "equitable". The CEO makes snide comments about people during company wide meetings and has visibly lost his temper when asked to explain his actions. No one feels valued or appreciated anymore. Except for the VPs, since we seem to hire a new one every month.

A fish rots from the head down

Pros

I like my direct supervisor, my department head, and my division leadership. I like the type and variety of work that I do. I'm always getting to learn new things.

Cons

The problems at MITRE can all be traced to the CEO and executive leadership team. They're obsessed with "affordability", which means that every few months or so, they're announcing more benefits that they're taking away from us. Our benefits used to be quite good, and made up for the lower cash compensation than we could be getting elsewhere. But that's not true anymore. After multiple rounds of whittling away at our benefits advantages, it's looking pretty average now. I just flat-out don't trust the executives to do right by us.
