      Pros

      Salary is mostly competitive though slipping, retirement very good. Very smart and talented people (in some areas).

      Cons

      Alot of churn lately. Delivery can be mediocre with minimal accountability from Group Leads on up. Execs continue to get raises despite poor employee morale and declining revenue in some areas. Sick leave policy out of synch with reality. Must use vacation for first 40 hours. Can't use in one hour increments for Drs appts. Even the Federal Govt allows that! Extremely limited telework policy .

      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!!!
