MetroStar Systems reviews

The culture actively encourages Mean Girls behavior, employees at Reston spend more time gossiping and bullying other employees than doing their jobs. They promote not based on merit, but who is best at stepping over others. They complain about the high turnover and staffing issues but won't acknowledge that toxic culture drives good people away.

They bring their managers/directors up with NO experience managing people, maybe so that they can pay them less? Because it makes no sense for the success of the company. I experienced this first hand: an unskilled and incompetent Director who is struggling to handle their own work, let alone a teams', who is worried about their own success and not yours, who is competitive with their team members instead of building them up. With little to no communication you are expected to know what's expected of you and read your managers mind. From day one you're not set up for success, with no real training and no transition period, even though you're promised that in the interview. Proper performance reviews are never initiated and employees are never provided with constructive feedback before it is big issue. It's very transparent that these problems come directly down the ladder from the top, the CEO expects everyone to read his mind as well. Take your talent elsewhere, you will never be appreciated there. Most of your hard work will go towards cleaning up the mess left by the constant turnover, which is so high it's like a revolving door there.
