Pros

Interesting, meaningful work in support of national security. Talented people (too many are leaving).

Cons

The CEO weilds power toward destructive ends: - Fired people who didn't get COVID shots regardless of reasons (e.g. natural immunity). - Cut benefits while touting strong corporate financial position. - Mandates badge swipes into offices without regard for purpose of office work - Curtailed telework with arbitrary policies (50 mile rule) - Injects his political biases into work discussions/decisions counter to corporate policy. "Rules for thee, not for me". - Ignores most "upvoted" questions during meetings because they don't fit his narrative

Pros

Came to MITRE for the great benefits, challenging mission, and quality of life.

Cons

Leaving soon because of clueless and selfish management; rampant nepotism, ageism, bigotry, sexism and lack of advancement opportunities for those who refuse to kowtow to management.
