Who We Are
MITRE was established to advance national security in new ways and serve the public interest as an independent adviser. We continue to deliver on that promise every day, applying our systems-thinking approach to provide solutions that enhance our national security and way of life.
Our mission-driven people come to work at MITRE to make a difference. We give them that opportunity by fostering a vibrant and diverse community of thought that drives a culture of innovation. Our non-profit status sets us apart. Motivated by impact, our people discover new possibilities, create unexpected opportunities, and lead as pioneers for the public good.
Fast Company called us “the most important company you’ve never heard of.” But even if you don’t know our name, you have experienced our impact. In our 65+ years of catalyzing and sustaining change, we never lose sight of the human factor behind every complex system and innovative solution.
