Pluspunten

I don't know how helpful a review I can write, because there has been a round of layoffs and we can expect more in 2025, so I wouldn't pursue a career here right now unless you are recruited onto a specific project requiring your specific skills. I found the salary and benefits very satisfactory, although even before all the recent changes to the federal government, we were already feeling the weight of a changing economy.

Minpunten

I think the biggest con is that this was once an institution where one could establish a network and then expect some degree of job security. This is no longer the case and may not be for a long, long time. Also: Like every other company I've ever worked for, MITRE's commitment to diversity was never anything but window dressing. Like anyplace else you'll every work, white, straight, males will be promoted before anyone else; no one will ever, ever make a specific bigoted comment but the decisions will reflect bias. Efforts to address the issue are seemingly designed to be ineffective. People care hypothetically but there is no effective way to shift internal bias and no one is ready to try.

Great diversity, quality of life and staff. Been with MITRE over 20 years.

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!!!
