      You think it couldn't get worse, but then senior leadership open their mouths - Anonymous employee MITRE Employee Review

      Pros

      Great opportunity to work on impactful projects with very knowledgeable individuals.

      Cons

      Everyone is upset with the constant slashing of benefits and reminders from the senior leadership that our pay is not competitive because we should be working for the 'mission' > making money. The CEO recommends to leave and go work for Google if your sole purposes in life is to make money. I want to know if there is a company out there that has mismanaged return to office. We all know that in-office presence is required to justify the lease space and comply with our federal sponsors. Senior leadership refuses to say that. They say it's all about 'spontaneous collaboration'. Recently, during a Q&A, it was said that our sponsors want us on-site, THEIR site, not MITRE offices. How does being at a sponsor site correlate to bringing everyone back to a MITRE campus? Also, we learned that correlation equals causation. Right?

      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!!!
