      Dude, Where's My Company?

      Cybersecurity engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are smart people and occasionally interesting work here. Wonderful infrastructure for remote work, but limited willingness to fully embrace this next-normal. Good security practices within the infrastructure. Pay is decent if you come here to start, but suffers wage inflation issues as you stay.

      Cons

      MITRE is a company in transition & likely decline. Some of the changes are due to COVID and some are due to an opportunistic CEO that is leveraging the situation to pivot the company to a REVENUE-FIRST model. The company is positioning itself to be a competitor to consulting firms such as Booz Allen Hamilton or Deloitte. They are not yet competitive in this field. Most of the employees are not seeking this new environment. Some employees are trapped by age or skill-atrophy. Some don't know any better (yet).

      Fading Fast

      Lead engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The day-to-day workers are generally bright, committed to the mission, and most understand the value of collaboration. The experts that are left are trying their best, despite Management's efforts to stifle good work. Retirement benefits are the last remaining good benefit.

      Cons

      Senior mangers are have hired too many outside people that don't understand the FFRDC mission, and are pushing revenue and speed over quality. Most of the C-Suite is living in some kind of alternative reality from the rest of the workforce. It used to be that in exchange for slightly lower pay, workers got decent benefits. But they've been slashed to be the same or worse than most competitors. MITRE's primary value was in the expertise it brought to the table, but senior management's flippant attitude, dismissive behavior, disregard for employees, and interest in quantity over quality has driven much of that expertise out of the company. Many sponsors no longer see value in MITRE without that expertise.
