Pros

The engineers at MITRE are knowledgeable in their field and a pleasure to work with, including managers. MITRE values knowledge and has great education benefits. A fantastic place to work for new college grads. Great work-life balance. Safe to be openly LGBTQ+ plus great trans healthcare coverage.

Cons

The C-suite frequently screws over the employees by reducing benefits randomly and gaslighting us about it. The changes in benefits negatively impact mid to late career employees the most. No one is happy with the CEO and VPs.

Pros

Smart people who are making a real impact in the work they do. Lower level management is great. Great benefits.

Cons

Recent CEO teleworking policy changes with terrible communication throughout the organization has sent me packing after nearly a decade. Promotions are tough because of policies. Pay is below average.

Pros

Great benefit, health insurance, 401K matching, paid time off, free meals, etc. Many intelligent employees to work with

Cons

As a federal funded research and development center, the company is suppose to perform scientific research from an apolitical view. Ever since the change of senior management, this has changed. The company purged senior managers who are not aligned up with its agenda in 2020 right before July 4th. This year, fired hundreds of talented employees right before Thanksgiving for not compliant with company policy. The entire exemption process was kept in the dark, neither criteria nor justifications nor appealing process were provided for rejection. No reasonable accommodations were provided although most of the employees have been supporting work remotely successfully for over a year. Direct supervisors, department managers and project leads were not notified until after the termination. Many projects were disrupted and severely damaged due to loss of essential engineers.
