We appreciate your continued service to MITRE’s mission of solving problems for a safer world and being part of a truly talented workforce whose skillsets and capacity to innovate propel our organization forward. We are proud to offer a competitive salary and benefits package that meets the needs of our diverse, and multi-generational organization. As part of those benefit programs, we offer a flexible work model that fosters both in-person and digital opportunities for employees to connect with the added benefit of in-office and remote flexibility. Our program allows staff to flex their 80-hour pay-period time as needed with only 50% of their time required in an office setting. We are committed to consistently reviewing our benefits programs and recently modernized our paid time off benefit providing increased time-off for our tenured staff and expanded our paid holidays for a total of 9, including 2 floating holidays per year that staff can use to celebrate any observance that is meaningful to them. We appreciate your candid feedback and will continue to strive for excellence in all we do. Thank you again for your dedication to MITRE and for being part of our team.

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!!!
