      "Good Growth" ... for whom? - Anonymous employee MITRE Employee Review

      Pros

      Wonderful facilities and amenities--they provide a 'home away from home." Good corporate communications structure--particularly MAID displays, and informative intranet with intuitive searches, and well-organized information on people and projects. Many technically gifted employees that take their roles as trusted advisors to the sponsor very seriously. Despite rumblings, health and retirement benefits are still excellent.

      Cons

      Corporate narcissism. There is a palpable preoccupation with self-identifying, re-branding, re-orging, synergizing, silo-smashing ...and other trite management-consultant-inspired hyphenates. More disturbing is the rampant cliques that have become the sole avenue for access to good project opportunities, and the primary basis for promotions. There are some very deep pockets of misogyny and nepotism that have stalled careers, and inspired once dedicated and motivated employees to go elsewhere.

      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!!!
