Downhill trend with upper management leading the way

Pros

Some very bright people work at Mitre . Most are quite cordial and share their knowledge. The benefits are good , retirement being one of the better deals . Next is work / life balance ,, Also a con as I'll explain next.

Cons

I'll first address work life balance . While it is great to have flexibility with arrival and departure times , Mitre has taken this to an entirely unheard of level . It is not uncommon to see employees arrive between 1000 to 1100 hrs. I must admit these people most likely put in their time but how can you run a business this way ? Many people don't show at all .. Again, are they doing work ? You bet ,but how efficiently is the company running ? This leads to much employee strife . For instance , this person barely even comes to work or that person is in with management . The review system, P&D is not working as it was suppose to . It has been hinted that a new review method will be put in its place . This would be a very welcome change for employees and management . Management. See below.

Pros

Strong sense of purpose permeates the culture. Employees have open and frank conversations about helping the US gov't with its challenges.

Cons

If you're outside of the Bedford Mass or McLean area, you won't benefit as greatly from the perks.
