“Terrible place for admins”

Verified User Current Employee · l***** · Administrative Assistant - Mar 29, 2022

ProsThe title of someone else's MITRE review, "a great place to coast," is so true. Not much is expected of me, so that's what I do--not much. It is **impossible** for an admin to get fired from MITRE, no matter how badly they do their job or how badly they treat their fellow admins. The 403(b) is absolutely stellar. Work/life balance is great since I have to go to campus only one or two days a week. Having a cafeteria on-site is great for the days I go in to the office. Despite all the things that don't work at MITRE, I am proud of the work that they do.

ConsThe majority of the admins are defensive, territorial, angry, and lazy, and because they're not leaving and will not be let go no matter what awful thing they say or do, you have to accept that you'll be stuck with them for eternity. Getting the information you need to do your job can be downright impossible. If it's important to you to feel you belong and that you are contributing to your company's success, MITRE is not the place for you. Do not try to be proactive; you will just stir hornets' nests. The move to hoteling and daily office reservations was, and remains, a disaster. Upper management makes new rules and then changes their minds about them on the regular; no one really knows what the official line is for anything. The HR department has been decimated in recent months with more than half the staff leaving, so if you need anything from them, you're out of luck. Finance keeps switching software systems and as a result, nothing works properly.
