MITRE Principal Software Systems Engineer reviews

Too many cost shaving activities that used to differentiate MITRE from other companies. Less office space for each employee, reduced our retirement benefits, reduced our leave, reduced the amount of leave we can carry over, new two week timecard makes it looks as though you get more flexibility but managers have been told to limit approval to 4 hours a month. That's flexible????? That's probably why we're no longer on the Fortune Best Companies to work for anymore.

Leadership does not focus on what is happening to employees working at sponsor sites. Blame is placed on the employee if negative information is received, and not on examining sponsor issues or reluctance to accept potentially difficult recommendations. This style promotes banal employee work, where the effort is focused on giving advice that is not "too controversial."
