MITRE Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

My work environment is positive because I work at a client site, far from the MITRE HQ work environment. People avoid working there for a reason.

For the most part positive

Personal needs are addressed very well

People across the company will help other employees on slack with random questions. People also speak honestly about concerns with ELT and benefits.

People really try to help out each other and share knowledge. You can reach out to a complete stranger with a question and they're happy to help!

Coffee shops are available and used

Review from Engineering Dept

The mission and work we are able to do is incredible.

actually adhere to a work life balance

Review from Engineering Dept

Open to share new ideas, no stove pipes

Review from Engineering Dept

The environment is very supportive, very mission oriented

Working some of the most challenging technical issues for Government and military applications; all in the public interest and as a trusted member of government organizations.

Review from Engineering Dept

Everyone is focused on solving hard problems to help our sponsors and change the world. The mission is bigger than any one person and gives a sense of purpose and drive to the work.

Review from Engineering Dept

In my experience people at MITRE have generally been wonderfully inclusive and collaborative. A few pockets of bro culture and intelligent yet condescending individuals but most people are great.

Review from Engineering Dept

Staff is open to helping each other.

The company hands out awards like candy. Nearly everyone gets an award at some time.

The culture of MITRE is academic and laid back. The benefits really make it.

It is easy to move between projects and teams and learn new technologies.

People are low in education and technical accomplishment.

There is an environment geared towards learning

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

They could try taking any positive action towards organizing their workforce. It seems like all they know how to do is issue top-down decrees to control employee behavior.

Review from Engineering Dept

There needs to be clear communication from leadership and more of an emphasis on defining and executing projects

Provide more recognition for employees who have worked at the company longer.

Review from Engineering Dept

Clean house -- especially across the NSEC -- overhaul everything from the VPs down and STOP hiring execs because they "look the part." There are dozens of empty suites in the 6/7 and above levels that haven't produced anything but paperwork for decades.

Review from Engineering Dept

Much more downward focus an understanding of employee needs; thus improving the work environment.

Very negative and toxic work environment

They need to figure out what their business is.

Review from Engineering Dept

more Senior Leadership interaction with sponsors

Review from Engineering Dept

We need a clear vision and direction and the churning and restructuring need to stop.
