Pluspunten

Real need in niche FFRDC space from sponsor for skiils. Great projects to get on if you seek them out on your own and kiss right rings to get on. Unless funding gets cut and Level 6 or 7 staff kicks everyone off, but makes sure they protected themselves with sufficent remaning STE budget to cling to another 10 different projects they will nickel and dime.

Minpunten

No technical innovation or engineering leadership comming out of Level 6 & 7 senior managers. Not all, but most hide behind PM duties by making it sound overly complicated; come on guys - its a STE cost only budget, not like you're managing a real P&L or projects with 100s of STE on. Day to day operations and culture is run by highly bloated, overly politcal, and non-technical or lacking relevant technical skills of far too many Level 6 & 7 staff.

Minpunten

Too many VP,s that are not held accountable. Company recently RIF'd 24 staff from FAA FFRDC, due to dropping gov't funding...yet company has significant number of VPs all sucking off of overhead. No attempt to manage money within the "leadership" ranks. Last year company went through a major business transformation...that failed...yet, VPs held staff accountable for reporting on a subpar system that lasted over 12 months. Could not even get business data to report to gov't for over 2 months, yet, person who was in charge of the business transformation is still at MITRE. If this happened to any other MITRE employee, they would've been gone. Oddly enough the person in charge of the business transformation is the CEOs brother. Amazing how that happens. He'll probably get a bonus because of his substandard performance. MITRE recently invested in opening up an office in Australia. All on company overhead. significant large numbers of VPs travelling out to "visit"...yet company has the audacity to reduce benefits as part of cost cutting measures. Company has now taken on a "for profit" mentality. It's all about delivery... so VPS and GMs can spend, spend, spend. Board of Directors should take a good look at what is happening and make some swift changes from the CEO on down. BOD should also implement an independent IG like entity to investigate what is seeming like waste, fraud and abuse by CEO, GMs and VPs. Time for the Fat Cats to get purged!!!
