Pros

The are continuing to provide pay checks

Cons

Benefits are slipping - It feels like every week we get an email saying they no longer covering xyz. This week we were told there is going to be a 24% increase to premiums and GLP-1 medication will no longer be covered. Rounds of RIF - I think we are at 5, it feels like every month we are letting go a sizable chunk of employees. At this point more than 20% of the company has been laid off. They are also talking about furloughing employees.

Pros

I’ve had a very positive experience working at MITRE. The people here are incredibly intelligent, collaborative, and mission-focused. There is a strong culture of knowledge sharing, and I’ve enjoyed learning from so many talented coworkers across the organization. The Talent Acquisition leadership team has been outstanding. Alicia, Rachel, Manda, and Mindy have created a supportive and empowering environment, and they genuinely care about their teams and the candidate experience. Their leadership, accessibility, and willingness to invest in others make a real difference. MITRE offers meaningful work, a healthy work-life balance, and opportunities to continue growing professionally.

Cons

As with any large organization, processes can sometimes move slowly, and navigating a matrixed environment may take time. However, the collaborative culture and supportive leadership help make these challenges manageable.
