Pros
-Culture of the people at MITRE supports work/life balance and values its people. This reflects the people I work with day-to-day, and is the reason I remain at MITRE. -Salaries are competitive compared to the public sector. -CEO Mark Peter's communication and transparency is improving.
Cons
-Lots of middle management that doesn't contribute to direct project outcomes. Even after 4 rounds of layoffs in 2025, the health organization is incredibly top-heavy. -Lack of 360 reviews for VP, Director, and Department level positions creates an echo chamber and a lack of accountability, transparency. -Little support for direct supervisors -Benefits have decreased recently, particularly parental leave. -Health organization is overly committed to RTO, to the detriment of employee morale and at a difficult time in our industry.
