Just Disappointing

Pros

- My immediate co-workers are exceptionally technical, hard working, and great collaborators - My immediate leadership is smart, thoughtful and embody the role of advocate. - My project work is challenging and engaging.

Cons

- Senior leadership continues to undermine benefits and trust from their workforce. - Senior Leadership holds all hands meetings and Q&A sessions after policy/benefit changes but glosses over those changes and does not leave time for questions. - if you are not outgoing you will struggle to find work. In a perfect world your group lead will support you but that is not always the case.

An all-time low for MITRE and it's employees

Pros

Great people and good benefits

Cons

A CEO who most of the staff feel is unfit and a narcissist is leading this company down the wrong path. Anyone over 50 is afraid they're going to be laid off - and with good reason. It's not a place where doing a good or even great job is enough anymore. The CEO has openly said he doesn't care about Glassdoor ratings so that tells you the man he is and how little he cares about the staff.

No Longer the Elite Company It Once Was

Pros

There are extraordinary people who work at MITRE, and I have been privileged to have worked with many. These are smart, dedicated people in math, science, and technology. It is a place where you can truly make a difference.

Cons

In the last year and a half, a significant change has taken place. When former CEO Al Grasso left, he was replaced by Jason Providakes. Much of senior management has departed and has been replaced. Organizational structure has changed, stripping what were solid internal entities of their identity. We're hiring at a phenomenal rate of late, for what reason is beyond my comprehension. We seem to have lost the ability to say no to a sponsor who would have us do work outside our contractual work program, as well as the ability to question whether a type of work is appropriate to be done through an FFRDC. While developing answers to problems could take forever if we did a 100% solution for everything, the "60 to 80%" solution we're now to take could be very costly. This isn't who we are.
