      Pros

      The benefits are good, but don't even come close to balancing out the lack of pay, chance for promotions, or growth in any aspect. I'm actively looking to leave do the recent management shifts or constant broken promises by managers.

      Cons

      Employees are well underpaid by industry standards. Only seeks to promote wealthy, older, white, typically male, employees. Has no desire to promote from within departments. Cannibalizes teams to reduce the staff that actually does the work so middle managers can get raises.

      We're sorry to hear that you're so unhappy. We have a strong commitment to diversity, demonstrated by our CEO recently joining local and national efforts to address issues such as inclusion and pay equity in the workplace. We haven't seen any indication that particular groups of staff members aren't being promoted.

      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!!!
