Pros

My peers are smart and enjoyable to work with. Work life balance is nice, no push to work more than 80 per period. Great Department Management.

Cons

Cuts to benefits such as continue. Business systems/ business transformation is a failure. Lack of adequate financial tracking led to overrunning corporate overhead last year. Extremely poor communication from the entire C suite. The CEO is extremely condescending and rude, even in all hands company meetings. Jason, if you're reading this, if you weren't the CEO people would be reporting you to HR right and left for the way you talk to others. Fix your behavior. C Suite, especially CEO, continues to push and pursue work agenda that is polarizing, partisan, and detracts from the work we try to do. Company is not diverse and does leadership does not support diversity of thought. Considers diversity to mean gender identities and skin color. C Suite lies to employees and/or gas lights the workforce (we cut your benefits because it's the best thing for you) Leadership has been gutted, rebuilt, and replaced with yes men that agree with the CEO. Leadership has gutted IT, Finance, Travel functions so that any sort of auxillary support you need is very painful. The company is entirely campus focused. If you are working from a site, get accustomed to being a third class citizen. It is very painful for me to see what this company has become, knowing what we once were.

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!!!
