      Pros

      Nice office space. Many people seem friendly. Easy commuter location. Reasonable work hours. Very good CEO. Public interest work. Reputation.

      Cons

      Worked there over a decade, then stabbed in the back by subordinate who didn't get promoted into the position I filled. Chose not to defend myself and was told by my management the staff's problematic behavior would not be tolerated. Relied on management to handle the situation. Huge mistake, but learned what the mid-level leadership was like (self-focused). Not a place where leadership cares or truth is supported. No longer a place where the customer comes first. I would not return for any reason. Top 100 employer only for those who like office politics.

      Pros

      I would have stayed just because of my group. I had awesome managers & they made me feel as though I had a purpose. They appreciated all of my dedication.

      Cons

      COVID policies, segregation, force loss of job.

      The MITRE retirement home

      Pros

      Respect for employees Work Life balance, tilted in favor of "Life" 40 hour work weeks, not 60, not 70 Critical mass of smart people, not too many idiots Opportunities to work on interesting projects

      Cons

      * Some employees are flat out lazy, and contribute nothing to their home departments * Organizational excellence SHOULD be a pervasive theme internally, but sadly it is not * There seems to be lack of accountability at the middle and senior levels of management; if 20% or 30% of projects fail to deliver impact, no one seems to be bothered by this situation * Many employees tell great stories of the "old days" when they solved big problems (often at previous companies) - - Very FEW can tell convincing stories of big sponsor problems they are positively impacting RIGHT NOW * In CCG, the practices seem to be "body shops" of individuals, with no real core methodologies used within departments * Several other reviewers here on Glassdoor have mentioned "dead wood" in the AC5 / AC6 ranks. I have seen that also. The real problem in this situation is lack of accountability - - No one cares that dead wood is slowing down the organization. This leaves an atmosphere much like an assisted living retirement home: Feeble inept people that are not contributing to impact are tolerated and treated comfortably.
