Pros
- Generous 401k match after 1 year
Kontras
- Hemorrhaging headcount. Indiscriminate firing of ~3,500 employees between January and December 2025 because their sole customer (the US Government) doesn't see value in FFRDCs. - Government is largely correct in their assessment that MITRE is overpriced for the low-impact, policy paper and systems engineering work that it primarily does. - Completely tone-deaf leadership. CEO waddles out in a gee-whiz, howdy-doody impression during all-hands every other month before announcing another round of layoffs. Board member bizarrely recited poetry and cried during an all-hands. Senior VPs regularly send emails to 1,000s of employees boasting about their frequent travel to Hawaii and Europe while lamenting 100s of people losing their jobs over the same period. - No plan or vision to adapt to reality.
