      Pros

      Great benefits. Nice people. The best work/life balance of anywhere I've worked. This is the only place where I was encouraged to truly work only 40 hours a week. There were also many opportunities for career growth. I was encouraged to stretch myself and learn new things constantly. The amount of training and classes offered by the company is amazing. It is a really great place.

      Cons

      The current CEO and COO have created a completely different culture in the company that is not for the better. When I left, a sense of unease and fear was beginning to run rampant. I worked in the Corporate Shared Services organization and I think this org was hit especially hard by the new CEO's desires. The communication of layoffs in this organization in 2018 were handled abominably and this is in comparison to layoffs I've been through at other companies that were handled poorly. I believe these cons can be fixed with different upper management and I honestly hope they are and that I can return to the Mitre that I started at years ago.

      Pros

      Great diversity, quality of life and staff. Been with MITRE over 20 years.

      Cons

      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!!!
