Vantaggi

MITRE is primarily a systems engineering oriented company, where much of the work is higher level (requirements, specification, policy, test plans); but there are also opportunities for hands-on work (software development, prototyping, applied research, testing). MITRE has a very big internal research program, where millions of dollars are spent each year on research in a broad number of domain areas.

Svantaggi

As a whole MITRE is a “flat” organization and people – even a lower levels – are expected to work without much hand holding. This can be an issue for junior staff where mentoring can be lacking. Due to the focus area of MITRE’s work programs it is fairly top heavy with a large number of senior engineers and managers.

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!!!
