      Pros

      Lots of people have been with the organization a long time and try to be helpful and welcoming, great mission, free food in the cafeterias for the rest of 2021, good retirement benefits

      Cons

      Noticeable pockets of inexperienced (younger) senior level leaders don’t seem to have the same ethical standards as the more tenured folks. I have observed leaders whose approach in dealing with new employees was interrogating them trying to get confidential details about how their former employers operate, then adopting those ideas for use at MITRE and passing them off to the executive team as their own original thoughts. I have also witnessed a fair amount of gossip and other unprofessional behaviors from people at high levels who most certainly should know better given their roles in the org. I have also seen an inexperienced leader retaliate against an employee who raised a legitimate concern. Questionable behaviors like this make a small environment seem even smaller. MITRE seems to be suffering from an identity crisis and headed in the wrong direction from an ethics and internal politics point of view. Many newer (younger) people comment that the older (and oftentimes genuinely nicer) workers should go ahead and retire because they are in the way of change, but, the drama, ethics challenges and petty antics some newer leaders are demonstrating is not the right type of change and the culture is suffering because of it.

      Pros

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

      Cons

      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!!!
