Pros

11% retirement match. Nice facilities.

Somehow, middle management perpetually finds itself unable to deliver (and now with DOGE scrutiny, keep or renew) projects and curiously, it is always due to the supposed incompetence of their subordinates. Fascinating, really. The same task lead will, time and again, manage to scapegoat junior employees, cycling through them with remarkable efficiency, all while maintaining their own immovable perch of “leadership.” What does this recurring pattern reveal? A company increasingly saturated with non-technical signaling specialists, those MBA-adjacent orbiters of the tech sphere, straining to project relevance while artfully deflecting accountability downward. The consequence, as countless other reviews have observed, is an organization that is top-heavy, populated primarily by “managers” and “leaders,” where political dexterity now outweighs technical competence as the primary currency of value. Thus, when reductions in force inevitably arrive, the outcome is predictable: blame ricochets through the hierarchy with remarkable speed. Rather than expending effort to safeguard critical work programs, management channels its energy into crafting elaborate documentation proving that, somehow, none of it was ever their fault. It would be almost comedic, if it weren’t such a bleakly familiar routine.

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!!!
