Something is Wrong

Pros

Direct supervisors, project leaders, middle management truly care about their people and go above and beyond to make sure you have what you need to support your government sponsor. They are the lifeblood of the company.

Cons

It seems the C Suite is completely disconnected from the company's mission and its employees. Recent benefit cuts were directly aimed at long term employees with 9+ years at the company, introducing an unnecessary risk of losing countless years of experience and institutional knowledge that MITRE's sponsors VALUE. There is zero indication of them trying to retain employees either, including those at the company less than 9 years that were unaffected by recent changes who are now questioning why they should remain at the company. It's been tough watching this company go downhill the last 6 years. Seems like things only get worse and have gotten far, far worse in only the last year.

Pros

If beginning your career, continuing your education, or hoping to partially retire in place then MITRE might be ok for you.

Cons

There are better organizations for mid-career professionals. Leadership seems staffed according to years served instead of fitness. Management blunders and micromanagement are too common. The work environment can be more cliquish than professional contrary to stated organizational values.

Pros

"Matrix" organization meaning you could possibly work on all kinds of projects with different people. Their motto is to make a safer world. They take this to the extreme, sometimes with erroneous conclusions and methods.

Cons

Harassed me and others for my political, religious, and covid vaccine beliefs and investigations.
