      Great company for new graduates

      Pros

      MITRE has a lot of opportunities for new graduates to explore different areas within cyber or across government sponsors. This is a great place to start to identify what area of cyber excites you the most.

      Cons

      I am under the belief that upper management may withhold information regarding the company's financial standing. I would prefer to know when the company is struggling so I can appropriately prepare for potential layoffs.

      Going downhill with latest

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The work is good and meaningful. Surrounded by lots of smart people.

      Cons

      The CEO is completely tone deaf. The middle management is great, but the VPs and above are not. They make decisions that hurt morale and benefits, and deliver the news very poorly, treating employees rudely and dodging perfectly legitimate questions. It appears that they're trying recently to encourage more experienced staff to leave the company. Vacation was recently cut by one week for experienced staff, and a furlough was "highly encouraged" but not strictly enforced at Thanksgiving.

      After a 20-year career at MITRE, which I loved, sadly, MITRE is no longer recognizable. It has become irredeemable.

      Pros

      MITRE has historically supported the most critical missions in the nation’s defense, intelligence, and other civilian sectors. For more than 50 years it was the place to work if you wanted to do the right thing for the right reasons. The compensation and work life balance were excellent. They covered the costs of postgraduate degrees. They have a competitive internal R&D program that produced some good outcomes for the nation. All-in-all, over the 20 years I worked there, I loved my job and serving my nation. I expected to work there for another 20 years.

      Cons

      In around 2017, MITRE got a new CEO, who is sinking the ship. The organization became woke. Before that it had weaknesses typical of the tech sector: management that couldn’t lead, leaders that can’t lead, and a struggle to balance compensation and retention of talent. However, the pandemic brought out the worst of MITRE. When Biden wrote the vaccine edict, MITRE was overzealous to implement it. Most who submitted religious or medical exemptions were summarily fired without explanation, appeal, or recourse. Hundreds of people were fired, quit, or retired earlier than planned. Since then MITRE has gone downhill.
