Pros

Pay and Benefits are good

Kontras

The company specializes in being pedantic. I've often said MITRE is very good at "admiring the problem" instead of solving it. MITRE "engineers" like to proffer their expertise, which is highly inflated, to government programs to make the problem space more complicated. Rather than closing the problem to make better decisions for the government, they offer lots of caveats and "yeah, buts..." I suggest everyone at MITRE read Kill Chain by Christian Brose and take a long hard look in the mirror. Our adversaries are strategically defeating us, and bickering and arguing about communications protocols is literally making it worse. Building a better widget is NOT what the DOD needs When they fired Al Grasso as CEO, he said offered some works of wisdom on his way out regarding MITRE's future. Paraphrasing, he said "it'll depend if MITRE is seen as part of the problem or part of the solution." I can assure MITRE is part of the problem

Kontras

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!!!
