Pros

Great culture and people Flexible work life Sponsor driven work

Cons

Middle Management Favoritism (Department Managers, Directors) Stop the mass layoff madness. Stop sacrificing your troops. Make leaders responsible. Involve project leaders in the decision making process when doing RIFs. Department managers not doing this to protect their favorite employees. Labs Leadership doing this frequently. Audit them to protect the right people. Laying off people who are fully covered on direct sponsor work and keeping favorites who charged multiple hours of overhead / indirect. Laying off Engineers and keeping non engineering majors floating through this ... Not acceptable if your new vision aligns with making MITRE a SYSTEMS ENGINEERING COMPANY fornthe future. Please check LABS Leadership decisions. Incompetence at Director and multiple Department Level decision making.
