[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MITRE has laid off approximately 1000 people in the last month, and rumors are flying about another RIF coming in a few weeks. Hard to watch so many great people go. [/quote] This may seem excessive but MITRE, at times, has been an admin/top-heavy company. On the tasks I worked on--always on government sponsor sites--my rate was high because we had to "carry" a lot of overhead and several managers up the food chain who never showed up on site or participated in sponsor work (billed a portion of their work hours, rolled into task overhead). And despite all of this top-heavy support, management never helped me find new tasks when my project work ended... I had to scrounge for new work myself to keep myself "covered" at 40 hours/week. --former MITRE employee of almost 10 years, now working as a contractor at a for-profit company (and much happier) [/quote]
