Is MITRE in decline?

Pros

There are plenty of smart people willing to share their knowledge and expertise. A collaborative environment. A great place to learn

Cons

Often MITRE works are at a very high level of abstraction without concern for actually implementation. Manager lack people skills. Bonuses are very arbitrary and rewarded unevenly depending on the manager. People with strong technical skills that can actually build something often leave. CEO is out of touch with employees. His employee all hands meetings are not very motivational and often gets bogged down into minutia and trivial details that managers and directors should be handling. The COVID data he presents is laughably out-of-date.

Pros

Work life balance Smart people, good lower management easy to find work benefits are decent

Cons

Benefits have been getting worse CEO is completely out of touch with lower level employees, and will say one thing in company wide meetings, then immediately do exactly what he said he wouldn't do Sites are treated very poorly, some sites have more people at the site then the building should be able to hold.

Pros

Serving in the Public /National Interests

Cons

When I chose to join MITRE, I was highly incented to do so because the company had pride in "speaking truth to power." At the time of my departure, MITRE had become a politically-oriented organization that focused on supporting the opinions of those in power, rather than providing dispassionate engineering excellence. The takeover by Social Justice Warriors rather than engineers made this a compromised organization.
