Vantaggi

Recognizable name; Well-known in the DoD community. FDRC. Flexible hours. Flexible work assignments. Generous retirement package when compared with other places I've worked.

Svantaggi

Beneifts package keeps getting worse. They've taken away PTO days and holidays. It is starting to feel like the employees lose something else every year. Started a forced - 50% "return to office" policy that has been a complete organizational disaster. Top level leadership seems out-of-touch. Very poor communicators. They say infuriating things at the town hall meetings. Pay is not as good as at other companies. Raises seem to usually be slightly lower than they are at other companies. From my perspective most of the work they have is for Systems Engineering. If you don't have that skillset or desire to learn that skillset, it will be harder to advance your career.

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!!!
