Pros
MITRE provides a great work environment and good salaries and benefits. I've been proud to work there for many years for the work we do on behalf of the nation. The MITRE covid response has been a model for all other companies to follow.
Kontras
the Sr. management team, led by Jason Providakes is working to turn MITRE into a commercial type company. Leadership is destroying the MITRE culture that was so long a valued part of the company's legacy. We don't need to be like everyone else. And the recent reorganizations of the past few years along with mass lay offs and forced retirements has caused a huge drain on the talent pool within the company. Its been very sad to see so many dedicated, smart people, and their wealth of MITRE experience and knowledge, just tossed aside like they don't matter any more.
