- What do you like best about the leadership team?Engagement and actually being good people
Constructive Feedback From MITRE Employees
- What would you improve about your company's interview process?Skills-based interviews. Stop calling everyone a systems engineer (or stop hiring people for systems engineering roles who don't have those skills).
- 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.
- What does the leadership team need to get better at?Making decisions that could plausibly lead to this company doing anything it claims to do.
