      Toxic Trio – CEO, COO, Interim CFO…the Worst is Yet to Come!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great peers trying to stick together and hoping for the best

      Cons

      Nauseating behaviors from these 3….hiding behind closed doors, replacing face time with radio calls, giving out gifts and cookies as a thank you tomorrow. With what $....savings from those you laid off??? Wake up! There are hard-working people and inspiring knowledgeable leaders still without jobs. Trust is lost, morale is at an all -time low, the MITRE culture is lost! Glassdoor ratings say it all... “Working at MITRE McLean has been agonizing” “From Bad to Really Bad to Worse” “A Sinking Ship” “Abysmal” “Something nefarious is afoot” “Previously stagnant and inward-focused. Now hyperkinetic, chaotic and inward-focused.” “An all-time low for MITRE and its employees” “MITRE has lost their direction” “Not what it used to be” “Run don’t walk” “MITRE Culture Undergone Negative Change” “A compelling new vision fatally undermined by unethical leadership” “Pushing Out Good People” “Getting Worse by the Day” “Circling the drain…” “Where is MITRE headed?” “Run Forrest, RUN!” “CEO wants to be a disruptor, but can’t articulate the end game”

      We are proud of our workplace, which is consistently recognized as a Top Place to Work in the DC Metro area, Boston, and work sites across the nation based on employee feedback. As part of an ongoing effort, our leadership team is highly focused on connecting with employees through multiple forums, including radio calls, all-hands meetings, lunches with the CEO, social and recognition events, site visits, and regular “pulse” surveys. We believe that it is by working together that we will find the best way forward to solve the difficult problems challenging our nation’s security and well-being.

      Pros

      Some really smart, motivated, dedicated staff. Ability to support various sponsors (customers) and their missions. Great benefits, and facilities.

      Cons

      I was hoping my experience was unique to my Division but I can tell from other posts and my colleagues that my Division’s experience may be the norm rather than the exception. A year and a half ago a power grab was started by the Portfolio (business development) side of our division. MITRE’s “Shared Leadership” model (Portfolio and Program (execution) working together) has devolved to Portfolio dictating and Program forced to jump. With the “yes” people brought in to the Portfolio this has created a toxic environment where collaboration and sharing have been replaced by whispering and looking over our shoulders. The work has deteriorated as the Portfolio is ill equipped to explain the MITRE value or understand our Sponsor’s needs but refuse to work with the Program side. Portfolio schedule Sponsor meetings without engaging with the Program side and rarely share the outcomes unless it serves their narrative to take more control. On multiple occasions my Sponsor has asked me what MITRE leadership was thinking in these meetings. A very hard question to answer. Myself and many of my colleagues stay because we believe in our sponsor’s mission, having an impact, and remember what MITRE could be like. But every month it becomes tougher and tougher.

      Pros

      401K is an outstanding benefit

      Cons

      The CEO is an incompetent fool. Kathleen Federico, Chief People Officer, is a modern-day Marie Antionette with absolutely no compassion and very little experience.
