Vantaggi

Great work subject matter, coworkers, and project. Can work on wide variety of project across the company for different government sponsors and for internally funded R&D.

Svantaggi

They cut 5 days of paid time off for employees there 9+ years. Previous PTO policy was competitive with similar companies (Raytheon, Capital One, government agencies, civilian military, other FFRDCs or national labs, Google, Microsoft, Facebook). At the same time, max accrual was cut by 80 hours and we only had 30 days to get below the limit or we would stop accruing. Because of this, I lost several additional days that did not accrue. They also cut 4 days of civic time. CEO and senior leadership seem deaf to the impact this has on employee morale and how this effects staff's personal lives.

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!!!
