      Running Off The Rails Began Over 20 Years Ago

      Lead multi-discipline systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Competent Peers Excellent health and retirement benefits Interesting projects with real value

      Cons

      Poor workforce organization. Departments should be Project Centers eliminating redundant cross-discipline management structure What company of this size needs 21+ VPs?!! Employee review and value system is archaic and biased Becoming too politically close to sponsors, devaluing real independence.

      Good, but management seems lost

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Depending on where you work, MITRE does some really interesting technical work Work-life balance is excellent with flexible hours Benefits are very good by contractor standards

      Cons

      Management seems to be flailing around with pointless reorganizations and new buzz terms, instead of addressing real problems. Management is more worried about the process, than the actual results

      It is just another Washington Smoke and Mirrors

      Pros

      MITRE used to have a great training program for full-time employees but a few years ago the actual allotments of time provided to take classes was greatly reduced. Now if you want training (i.e. software engineering, big data analytics, machine learning, etc.) that requires more than 2 days (and most of those classes do), you have to use your vacation time.

      Cons

      Be very careful of doing commendable work if you are mid level. People higher up the food chain will steal your work and call it their own. This place is very much a Hobbesian experience.
