Pros

The following opinion is based on working outside the corporate location. I have huge sympathy for those who are overworked and underpaid, as I experienced that early in my career. With that said, this is my experience with MSS so far: -Onsite management cares about your well-being and growth. -Interesting and meaningful projects with broad impact. -Work-life balance is a real thing. -Colleagues are easy-going, collaborative, and helpful. -Corporate HQ looks like the east coast version of a Silicon Valley office. -Great networking opportunities. -HR is responsive and helpful with questions and issues. -Pay is at market rate for my position and experience. Work-life balance is #1 for me, so that takes precedent over other positions that pay more but overwork their employees. Not about that life anymore.

Cons

-Cultural divide between those who work at client sites and corporate HQ. -A bit vague on the bonus structure. If the perception of performance is connected to a measurable definition, the clarity could mitigate morale issues for employees.

MetroStar Systems had a successful intern program in 2016, a program with which I was directly involved. Due to that, I'm most interested in understanding your feedback in further detail. Please call me at 703-481-9581 - Kelsey White

Pros

Some people are great. Maybe too dedicated and giving...

Cons

Way.Too.Much.Work.... Absolutely no work/life balance. Working extra hours should come from the employee and not be forced upon. I think they are just greedy and they honestly do not care about their employees. The pay is very low for this area. Many of the projects here are late and very sloppy. This is all because everything is rushed.
