      highly partisan, poorly managed

      Systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very flat organizational structure. Promotion opportunities for entry level.

      Cons

      Worst chain of command managers I've ever experienced at any company. Very political opinionated supervisors, managers, and colleagues that directly biases work. Few opportunities for promotion at mid level.

      Leaning towards mean spirited culture

      Systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Technical staff and back office staff typically demonstrate excellence, integrity and dedication to the mission of government sponsoring agencies/departments, and respect towards one another.

      Cons

      Behavior of executives, in some cases, towards the working staff is becoming more mean spirited or callous. Perhaps this startling at the top and trickling down. Reasons for decisions made affecting groups of staff and relations with our sponsors are not often communicated clearly, leading to doubting integrity of decision makers.

      Thank you for your taking the time to write a review. Our integrity and the work we do in the public interest is at the core of who we are at MITRE. The way we behave and treat each other at every level within MITRE, is so important to us, that we recently rolled out a new annual pay and performance of which our cultural behaviors are an integral part. We expect all employees to treat one another with personal dignity and respect, consistent with our values.

      Used to be a great place to work

      Senior systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits (sort of). 401K matching is excellent and the dental care is excellent. However, lately the health care benefit has gone down the drain. They have moved to a single provider rather than the 3 options we used to have. Interesting work. Ability to work with lots of really great smart people. Supportive team environments - almost family like (this is starting to change).

      Cons

      MITRE is going through the longest culture change I have ever seen. 5+ years and its been rough and doesn't seem to be getting better. Leadership is better at communicating to the workforce about its intentions but implementation of the vision is different by center and programs. This creates confusion among the employees who work together on projects but are from different centers.

      MITRE offers a wide range of benefits to support the health and wellbeing of our employees, including two comprehensive health plans. By moving to a single provider in 2018, we’ve been able to deliver benefits that are important to our employees and their families, including a stronger suite of well-being programs targeted to the needs of MITRE’s population, modern point-of-care options like telemedicine and E-visits, and much more. MITRE is focusing on our culture because, as a central force shaping many of our behaviors, culture has the power to free-up or place boundaries on our potential, and it directly impacts the outcomes we achieve. In 2019, our employee survey results showed that we’re making great strides toward realizing our shared vision for the future.
