What did you like most about the interview process?

Got to meet a variety of people

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Accountability, making decisions, telling the truth.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

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.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Many are retired in place and have become complacent. They tell clients what they want to hear, sit at a desk for 8 hours, and claim that their role is to provide "oral deliverables." (I am not joking.)

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

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.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

MITRE salaries are 20-25% less than other contractors. There are 0 stock options/bonuses and a "good" raise is 2.5%. A select project receives 20% higher salaries because the (US) location is "challenging." Staff doing the same work in similar or worse locations get no such equity.
