      Avantages

      Great benefits, great work/life balance, and some really fun and interesting projects. You have freedom to move around the company, work on different things from year to year, and really have an impact on our federal government and the public interest. If you are the kind of person who values variety in your work, serving the public interest, and have a thick skin then you'll love it here.

      Inconvénients

      Like any big company, there are politics. Since this is government work, there's more politics than most. Pay is also not always competitive with industry, specifically where software engineers are concerned. Each super-organization (called Centers) within the company runs like its own business, which leads to unrest and in-fighting within the company. People are evaluated differently from Center to Center, values are different from Center to Center, and there's lots of turf wars.

      Thank you for your feedback. Our mission to work in the public interest is one that inspires many employees. We’re happy to hear that you enjoy MITRE’s benefits as well. Each center is sponsored by a different government organization, which sometimes leads to differences within the operation of that center. While each center may have unique projects, they also continue to seek ways to collaborate, particularly on work that cuts across all our centers.

      Great diversity, quality of life and staff. Been with MITRE over 20 years.

      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!!!
