Vantaggi

The smartest people I've ever worked with, and a chance to really do some good.

Svantaggi

Senior leadership is completely out of touch and everything they says comes out sounding condescending or a lie. Or both. Changes happen without any real explanation and no data to back up. They're "researched heavily" but have to change overnight because it turns out they're violating state laws. There seem to be no consequences for failure at the upper levels, but ordinary workers suffer whenever corporate needs to save money. But I don't see upper management making any sacrifices. Instead, people are let go. There's no work right now and departments are blowing through their FY23 overhead with 10 months left to go. And who's fault is that? Better believe it's not the VPs/CEO pushing us to hire hire HIRE! MITRE used to hire from within, but three VP's who came up through the ranks are "retiring". There is a bias for hiring people with for-profit attitudes, people who don't understand, and don't want to understand what MITRE is.

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!!!
