      MITRE is Woke

      Cloud engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Reasonable benefits. Work with some sponsors can be rewarding. Still has pockets of solid systems engineering. Good work life balance.

      Cons

      The company has lost its way. Driven by a politically progressive CEO, who is somewhat of a tyrant, MITRE has moved away from meaningful work in the public interest. Their focus is now a "safer world". They are pushing a divisive social justice platform. They are the driving force for vaccine mandates. In fact, the CEO is taking a hard stance on vaccine mandates within the company, denying the vast majority of accommodations. Hundreds of employees are senselessly being fired, furthering the brain drain of the company.

      Now We're Political, We're Social Justice Warriors!

      Engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      We still do good, solid technical work for now.

      Cons

      For all of the years I've worked at MITRE, the mantra was, "No politics." We work in the public trust, and politics has no place whatsoever in how we operate, whether in public or behind the scenes. That changed a few months ago, and now we are all about social justice. Three years ago we had a new CEO, and the first shake-ups lead to the initial brain drain at the officer level. A revolving door at the C-level was apparent with the emails that "New Person A" is the new Cxx, and less than a year later "New Person A" is leaving MITRE. Last year saw two members of the Board of Trustees leave, one of whom was the former CEO. A recent reorganization led to the "release" of many high level executives in the company. An even more recent talk from the board shows they're fully behind our "new" company. Politics has no place at MITRE. I guess I'm wrong. It apparently has both place and purpose at MITRE.

      Thank you for sharing your perspective and for your contributions at MITRE. It is great to see you’ve recognized the important technical work we are doing on some of our nation’s biggest challenges. MITRE continues to be a non-partisan organization that is deeply committed to our mission of solving problems for a safer world. Part of fulfilling our mission is to address the most pressing challenges our customers and our nation faces. In our current environment, that includes topics that may be perceived as political in nature - like social justice, election security, and curbing the COVID pandemic. However, our approach to solving these issues continues to be politically agnostic as we apply objective, technology and data-driven approaches to solve the most relevant problems our nation is challenged with. Our recent organizational changes were given careful consideration by our leadership and our Board of Trustees. Grounded in our corporate strategy, these changes ensure a more seamless organization that enables us to have greater agility, act boldly, align our leadership and resources, and prepare for a future that continues to support our people, our mission, and our organization. Decisions of this magnitude are never taken lightly; they are deliberate, thought-through, and forward-thinking. They ensure that MITRE remains relevant into the future as we continue to operate in the public interest, deliver innovative solutions to our sponsors and partners, and prepare for the challenges ahead.

      Management & HR Department cannot be trusted

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits compared to other firms

      Cons

      Lack of growth opportunities, chances to move up, and excel in the company. Fishy “performance reviews” and managers collaborating with HR to force employees out. Will he reaching out to a lawyer and bringing a case forward.
