Avantages

As many others have said, you cannot beat MITRE’s work-life balance and benefits. Some assignments are better than others but you can manage to move around over time and find a good niche. People are generally respectful and it is a great place to land if you need a break from a hectic for-profit corporate environment. Among the staff, there is a strong sense of altruism and desire to help the government.

Inconvénients

Advancement and promotions can be painfully slow. Inbred management would rather be doing PowerPoint engineering or talking about the engineering stuff they did years ago. You can lose your edge if you hang around too long.

Inconvénients

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!!!
