      Pros

      The old MITRE, I miss thee. There used to be a culture of investment in employees. Management meant it, too. The talent level also used to be quite high. It's dropping now that we're pushing out people who weren't self-promoters but were world-class experts in their field. Without the old hands to learn from, what's going to motivate the young?

      Cons

      We've had recent layoffs and firings "for performance" that actually have to do with senior management monitoring people's social media accounts and getting rid of the ones whose political beliefs the managers personally disagree with. A lot of this is people just being horrible because, in the Age of Trump, they can. Although not everything MITRE does is related to the DoD, there's definitely a DoD-driven culture here, and it's only getting worse. Finally, this practice of getting rid of people who are about to retire, or pushing people out when mild disabilities are discovered, is the opposite of what MITRE used to stand for.

      Pros

      I’ve had a very positive experience working at MITRE. The people here are incredibly intelligent, collaborative, and mission-focused. There is a strong culture of knowledge sharing, and I’ve enjoyed learning from so many talented coworkers across the organization. The Talent Acquisition leadership team has been outstanding. Alicia, Rachel, Manda, and Mindy have created a supportive and empowering environment, and they genuinely care about their teams and the candidate experience. Their leadership, accessibility, and willingness to invest in others make a real difference. MITRE offers meaningful work, a healthy work-life balance, and opportunities to continue growing professionally.

      Cons

      As with any large organization, processes can sometimes move slowly, and navigating a matrixed environment may take time. However, the collaborative culture and supportive leadership help make these challenges manageable.
