Pros
good people, interesting work, excellent retirement matching, good benefits despite recent cuts to PTO
Cons
I am updating a previous review with more information. My opinion on MITRE and its corporate officers has not improved: on the contrary, I'm bewildered that everyone in the C-suite still has their jobs. The CEO is tone deaf, condescending, and completely out of touch with his employees. The latest examples of this are: ** A CEO podcast in which he expressed surprise that employees were worried about cuts, stating that he was not aware of any cuts. This was less than a month after PTO cuts to 1/3 of the staff and a reduction in force of about 25 people. ** A new security policy where he, and he alone, is allowed to walk around the building without a badge, and security has been instructed not to challenge him. Literally everyone else must wear a badge. ** A later CEO podcast in which he and his interviewer commiserated that poor reviews on this website can bring morale down, without addressing the concerns brought up in those reviews, which mostly revolve around him and the rest of the C-suite. Employees were told that an all-hands in April would be followed by a CEO call in which we could ask questions about what we'd heard. That CEO call was canceled and has not been rescheduled. Since then, over the summer, there have been 2 more rounds of layoffs that I know of: in admin and finance. I say "that I know of" because these were not announced to the corporation at large in any way. All information comes through gossip because the C-suite is completely silent on the issues. I am hoping that our board of directors is finally pulling their heads out of the sand and taking action to address these issues, but my hopes are not terribly high, as they have appeared disinclined to take any action to date.
