Pluspunten

Used to be a lot, but ... Employee feedback mechanisms have been eliminated under the guise of "saving us from survey fatigue" - translation: we're afraid of what you'll say. Medical benefits used to be great, but now there is a constant stream of issues with payments, rejections. Work/life balance is still good, although harder to WFH after RIFs/Semi-forced retirements. Education benefits are still very good.

Minpunten

The new mantra of "move faster, take risks" comes without direction. Move faster to what? Full speed into that wall? CEO only pokes his head out of his office to complain about something or to do deliver plastic "Have a nice holiday" emails or to do "Let's Talk" videos where the only one talking is him. The rumor mill (the only source of information left) is heavy with innuendo that the COO/CEO and CIO are at odds. This is coming from a long time employee who has seen prior RIFs, re-orgs, budget cuts, etc., but I've never seen morale this devastatingly low. Trust of senior management is non-existent and many peers are actively looking to bail out. Turnover at the executive management tier is absurd as well. CEOs' 25% approval rating and the company's overall rating since the prior CEO retired speak volumes...

Minpunten

Too many VP,s that are not held accountable. Company recently RIF'd 24 staff from FAA FFRDC, due to dropping gov't funding...yet company has significant number of VPs all sucking off of overhead. No attempt to manage money within the "leadership" ranks. Last year company went through a major business transformation...that failed...yet, VPs held staff accountable for reporting on a subpar system that lasted over 12 months. Could not even get business data to report to gov't for over 2 months, yet, person who was in charge of the business transformation is still at MITRE. If this happened to any other MITRE employee, they would've been gone. Oddly enough the person in charge of the business transformation is the CEOs brother. Amazing how that happens. He'll probably get a bonus because of his substandard performance. MITRE recently invested in opening up an office in Australia. All on company overhead. significant large numbers of VPs travelling out to "visit"...yet company has the audacity to reduce benefits as part of cost cutting measures. Company has now taken on a "for profit" mentality. It's all about delivery... so VPS and GMs can spend, spend, spend. Board of Directors should take a good look at what is happening and make some swift changes from the CEO on down. BOD should also implement an independent IG like entity to investigate what is seeming like waste, fraud and abuse by CEO, GMs and VPs. Time for the Fat Cats to get purged!!!
