Vantaggi

Great people, the Best! So much talent, so many truly smart people. So much intellectual energy! Good work opportunities (for some). Work-life balance (but increasingly seeming like more a thing of the past) Retirement benefits beat commercial (for profit) companies by far.

Svantaggi

Opportunity seldom realized. People deciding what work we pursue aren't technical enough to recognize good FFRDC work. There's a process for everything. So. Much. Process. MVC (Mission Value Chain) WTF? MITRE is no longer a meritocracy. A clique has made it into senior and executive level management. Others need not apply. Open space? No more offices for staff? No one likes it, but we march on. Senior management is not listening to middle management.

Vantaggi

Great diversity, quality of life and staff. Been with MITRE over 20 years.

Svantaggi

Too many VP,s that are not held accountable. Company recently RIF'd 24 staff from FAA FFRDC, due to dropping gov't funding...yet company has significant number of VPs all sucking off of overhead. No attempt to manage money within the "leadership" ranks. Last year company went through a major business transformation...that failed...yet, VPs held staff accountable for reporting on a subpar system that lasted over 12 months. Could not even get business data to report to gov't for over 2 months, yet, person who was in charge of the business transformation is still at MITRE. If this happened to any other MITRE employee, they would've been gone. Oddly enough the person in charge of the business transformation is the CEOs brother. Amazing how that happens. He'll probably get a bonus because of his substandard performance. MITRE recently invested in opening up an office in Australia. All on company overhead. significant large numbers of VPs travelling out to "visit"...yet company has the audacity to reduce benefits as part of cost cutting measures. Company has now taken on a "for profit" mentality. It's all about delivery... so VPS and GMs can spend, spend, spend. Board of Directors should take a good look at what is happening and make some swift changes from the CEO on down. BOD should also implement an independent IG like entity to investigate what is seeming like waste, fraud and abuse by CEO, GMs and VPs. Time for the Fat Cats to get purged!!!
