Thank you for your feedback. We agree that MITRE’s work-life balance and retirement benefits are exceptional. We are disappointed to hear that you don’t always feel your voice is being heard. We will continue to provide feedback to our managers to ensure employees feel their feedback is being considered.

Pros

The MITRE Corporation is the backbone of our government's decision making process in critical national areas including Veteran Care, Health Care, DoD technology spending, personnel management, security policy. It is the right policy to assure continual MITRE funding without undue influence from competition. Without MITRE's expert personnel helping our civilian employees, low quality and ineffective work would result in our government.

Cons

Excess internal and external rules, policy, and regulation. Many younger employees don't understand the essence of being a true MITRE. Many employees argue about insignificant points or left-field academic view points that is not MITRE. Not enough strong leaders to manage and help employees to work together to achieve MITRE goals. End of year rewards were diluted with those who did not deserve rewards.

Pros

Some very intelligent, savvy and motivated engineers with access to industry-leading technology. Ideally, an opportunity to make an impact on major, national initiatives.

Cons

Depending on what part of the organization within which you work, your experience may be miserable. No standards with regards to management and treatment of employees. Some people work hard, some people barely work at all -- and some people who do close to nothing - make large salaries, hold positions of high responsibility, and go completely unchallenged by the "system".

Thank you for your feedback. MITRE is proud to have a talented workforce and an important mission. MITRE’s managers do read the Voice of the Employee survey comments and take them very seriously. We appreciate that you take the time to participate in the survey and hope that some of the changes you are seeking are implemented.
