Svantaggi
Throw aside what is going on right now with the new administration because that's every contractor. This company has been rotting for 3+ years now. Fmr CEO Jason Providakes et al. absolutely set up this place for failure. Horrible C-Suite (Censor then remove Slack to punish employees), an incompetent HR department that treats employees like garbage (let's work Labor Day against MA state law), bloated VP level management (IR&D for stuff sponsors don't want). Good Growth Strategy (Enginuity, etc.) led to no new revenue streams. Feel bad for Mark Peters because his honeymoon period is rocked by losing 20-30% of employees. He actually seems like a decent CEO. So much obsolete talent - too many PhDs that only thrive in an environment like MITRE. RTO policy is a total joke - McLean is empty most days and don't even know if badge swipes are tracked. This place probably needs to re-charter away from FFRDC and find "clients" instead of "sponsors" for survival. Oh, and the Board of Trustees does nothing.
