I have been at MITRE for 10 years and historically have been extremely proud to work here. Not anymore. There has been a series of unfortunate events - nonsensical ELT decisions, arbitrary return to the office policies, inability to embrace remote work, enterprise systems and decisions not under IT, mandated PTO, benefits cuts (PTO, Holidays, and Civic Time), layoffs which were communicated via automated Workday notification, perpetually condescending leadership tone, all while continuing to spend on Indirect and hire additional VPs. Morale is at an all-time low and it can be attributed 100% to the ELT, but it all stems from the CEO. Such incompetence and significant egos at the highest levels of the organization. I can only hope that MITRE survives them.
