MITRE reviews

Haphazard senior management decision making. Echo chamber vs. bold or visionary. Ego-driven decisions vs. data-driven.

Culture varies widely by department and manager preference. Compensation is inadequate and it is touted as a non-profit although there is tons of money spent constantly. I was underpaid by 20k and constantly had more work and people to support heaved on my shoulders until it was unbearable. I was in a "flat" structure which meant I had 4 supervisors. Initially I supported about 45 staff but it grew to 85 with no additional salary, support or understanding of my workload. Instead management deemed my performance inadequate and had me jump through hoops despite earning awards and boosting staff morale and running multiple programs during the pandemic. If you want to be gaslit and undermined - that's the place for you! My attempts at internal transfers were blocked and no assistance was given when trying to transfer which would have benefitted both sides. Support infrastructure exists but is hollow and programs only benefit some employees. I am literally still shocked by how senior staff and employees would speak to me and requests that were made. My requests for support were fruitless or ignored.
