      Pros

      Great peers trying to stick together and hoping for the best

      Cons

      Nauseating behaviors from these 3….hiding behind closed doors, replacing face time with radio calls, giving out gifts and cookies as a thank you tomorrow. With what $....savings from those you laid off??? Wake up! There are hard-working people and inspiring knowledgeable leaders still without jobs. Trust is lost, morale is at an all -time low, the MITRE culture is lost! Glassdoor ratings say it all... “Working at MITRE McLean has been agonizing” “From Bad to Really Bad to Worse” “A Sinking Ship” “Abysmal” “Something nefarious is afoot” “Previously stagnant and inward-focused. Now hyperkinetic, chaotic and inward-focused.” “An all-time low for MITRE and its employees” “MITRE has lost their direction” “Not what it used to be” “Run don’t walk” “MITRE Culture Undergone Negative Change” “A compelling new vision fatally undermined by unethical leadership” “Pushing Out Good People” “Getting Worse by the Day” “Circling the drain…” “Where is MITRE headed?” “Run Forrest, RUN!” “CEO wants to be a disruptor, but can’t articulate the end game”

      We are proud of our workplace, which is consistently recognized as a Top Place to Work in the DC Metro area, Boston, and work sites across the nation based on employee feedback. As part of an ongoing effort, our leadership team is highly focused on connecting with employees through multiple forums, including radio calls, all-hands meetings, lunches with the CEO, social and recognition events, site visits, and regular “pulse” surveys. We believe that it is by working together that we will find the best way forward to solve the difficult problems challenging our nation’s security and well-being.

      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!!!
