Pros

They do have good benefits, but knowing what I know now, it is not at all worth it.

Cons

See title of my review... bad (or no) leadership and no opportunity for advancement. Regarding MTSI at Huntsville, AL, I have never worked with more deceitful, manipulative, and harsh people as these. My time with MTSI was never a picnic. Management is terrible. There is one fellow who works there in particular, who likes to raise his voice at everyone… sometimes you will hear him yelling through the halls. He is very highly critical and enjoys putting others down. I had my own problems with him and then, when I spoke to a couple of other employees, found out that another former employee had left the company and moved just to get away from him. There is another fellow who works here that gives everyone headaches. I know of at least two other employees there that hate working with him. His personality is like he is on steroids. NOTHING is ever good enough for this fellow and he will keep track of you until he finds something to wreck you with. I’ve seen it happen and I know of at least one former employee who quit to get away from him as well. In short, this is a horrible place to work, mostly because of management but also because they promise a lot that they will never deliver on. I can also tell you that they made more than one false promise to me while I was there. They promised training that NEVER came through. Avoid this place at all costs.

I apologize for the delayed response, but thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I'm certainly sorry to hear that you had a negative experience at MTSI and that your experience doesn't seem to match our core values, especially that employees come first, and of open, honest, and respectful communication. We try very hard to live up to our core values every day and make MTSI a great place to work for all of our employee-owners. Most feedback we receive is very positive, so it is especially concerning to learn of your negative experience. I certainly hope that you were able to discuss these issues with your HR lead or other management in Huntsville, or anonymously through headquarters in VA before you left so that your concerns could be investigated and addressed. If not, I'd be glad to speak with you in confidence so that we can look into your concerns. Thanks again for your feedback. I wish you the best in your future endeavors. v/r, Matt

Pros

What makes working at MTSI great is the free snacks. I'm kidding, what really makes it great is the clear direction from management that I receive, the sense of teamwork, and the appreciation and respect I receive for a job well done. They clearly value me and my time as an employee. Their top core value as a company is "Employee's First" and I believe it. They make every effort to create a comfortable (ex. free snacks) and collaborative environment in which I can provide an excellent product to my customer.

Cons

The internet speed at the Huntsville office is so slow that it is the single most frustrating aspect of a normal worker's day. If you need to quickly look something up for your job or personal responsibilities, don't expect to find that answer soon. Sometimes, the website that you need to access is too complicated for the slow internet speeds to handle and you simply cannot access it at all. The 3G on my cellphone is faster than this internet connection.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad that you feel we are living up to our core values and that you feel appreciated and respected at MTSI. We appreciate employee feedback and would encourage you to let us know anytime we can improve. Overall your comments seem very positive, and we're glad to hear that. We understand your frustration with the slow internet connection in the Huntsville office. According to our IT team, the Huntsville office has been unable to cost effectively increase internet speed for a few reasons, including the lack of alternative providers in the fairly new office park location and existing commercial service contracts with our provider. Improvements made by our IT team designed to improve speed have been offset by increasing numbers of employees using the internet. On the upside, this growth has also led to the need to expand the Huntsville office. After the expansion, improved access will allow increased speeds. Our IT team estimates that the Huntsville office's bandwidth will be quadrupled by February. Hopefully, this will help alleviate much of the issue.
