Pros
Mostly talented coworkers and opportunities to participate in projects with impact.
Cons
The “Good Growth Strategy” is killing the company. It is actually code for build business, no matter what, while the CEO and executives spend, spend, spend. Business transformation in 2022 failed and MITRE financial systems are a mess, resulting in layoffs and a reduction in paid time off. Amidst layoffs, a push for and influx of hiring for the sake of hiring strains departments and projects. Projects are ordered to support spread charging for staff who do not have the skills to actively contribute—a violation of our government mandate to be good stewards. MITRE has gone woke and is an active participant in the Aspen Group and its efforts to combat “misinformation” (code for censorship). These Orwellian efforts are also implemented within as there is no means to provide feedback up the chain— HR works for the management team and Glint surveys are not anonymous. But hey, the CEO has a podcast!
