Vantaggi

- Work life balance and flexible work hours, but it all depends on the site and project - A lot of smart people around - Some intellectually challenging projects, however you may be frustrated by the lack of impact of our work

Svantaggi

- Very limited opportunities for professional growth and promotion - You will loose your competitive edge and marketability if you stay here too long - Benefits have been eroding to the point they are now average - Mediocre mid level management - the worst I have seen in my career --, incompetent higher level management. A lot of these managers keep telling you stories about their old good days at Booz or Deloitte, but now are no longer willing to work like they used to work at Booz or Deloitte, and simply "parked" at MITRE, waiting for retirement. - Stagnant salaries, not aligned with your amount of work and capabilities. The review process is a joke. There are bunch of people around who just "charge" time, but do not contribute, while you are told that the company is expensive because it spends a lot on R&D.

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!!!
