MITRE Named to Boston Globe's List of Top Places to Work

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

BEDFORD, Mass., November 9, 2009 — The MITRE Corporation has been named one of the Top Places to Work in Massachusetts in the second annual employee-based survey project from The Boston Globe. The Globe 100's Top Places to Work 2009 magazine was published in the Sunday Globe on November 8.

Produced by the same team that compiles the 22-year-old Globe 100 report of the best-performing public companies in Massachusetts, the Top Places to Work recognizes the most progressive companies in the state based on employee opinions about company leadership, compensation and training, diversity/inclusion, career development, family-friendly flexibility, and values and ethics. Private companies and nonprofits as well as publicly held businesses were included in the analysis.

The rankings in the Globe 100's Top Places to Work 2009 are based on survey information collected by Workplace Dynamics, an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention, from 86,000 employees at 269 Massachusetts organizations. This marks the second year that a Globe 100 report has honored private as well as publicly held organizations.

MITRE was ranked 32nd on the overall list, and 8th among large companies (1,000 or more employees).

"I am especially pleased that our Bedford, Massachusetts, principal location has been chosen for this honor and our employee opinions were part of the selection process," said MITRE President and Chief Executive Officer Al Grasso. "MITRE has its roots in Massachusetts, and we are proud to have been a vital part of this state for more than half a century."

The publisher of The Boston Globe, Steve Ainsley, stated, "The companies included in the Globe 100's Top Places to Work have succeeded in creating a positive workplace for their employees in the midst of the uncertainties of the general economy. I congratulate each of them for an outstanding accomplishment."
