      Great mission and people, but leadership needs improvement

      Human centered engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people and the mission were the best parts of MITRE. Additionally, the organization also had a substantial amount of tech for project support.

      Cons

      There was a serious lack of mentorship, direction, and transparency. The company had too much focus on 'good growth' for a non-profit during Jason Providakes's tenure as CEO. The executive leadership was out of touch, stuck in the 'old ways' of doing things. The individuals in control of approving internal research and development funding showed clear favoritism toward certain people.

      Good pay and benefits overshadowed by ineffective management

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits relative to other companies within the health sector. Depending on the project, you will either have no work/life balance or too much of it. There is rarely a happy medium.

      Cons

      Middle management (e.g., PMs and DMs) lack skills beyond managing contracts and have very content or technical expertise. Three to four layers of management reviewers on projects and their salaries will kill a budget leaving very few resources for the technical experts to do their jobs. MITRE is also very expensive to the federal government, charging millions of dollars to simply produce poor quality reports.
