Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
There needs to be more transparency within the company to its workers
See previous question. Accountability and willingness to take action are imperative. Stop being driven by the "good ol boy" relationships. MITRE is stuck in 1982 and it shows.
Review from Engineering Dept
Top management is now focused on social equity as a central theme. Scientific innovation is way down the list.
Too many things are going wrong with no clear steps to improve it.
It's been wrong since 1958. We get hired by the government because the government contracting rules are so difficult to deal with, if you have an FFRDC, then just issue a task order and you can skip it. Lower quality but bodies none the less.
Review from Engineering Dept
What do you like best about your company?
The focus on integrity and truth.
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Focus on unbiased integrity and honesty with our government sponsors seems to be slowly eroding with the shift toward exploring more for-profit activities. We have a stellar reputation for being trusted advisors. Don't lose it.
