Pros

MGT does a phenomenal job recruiting talented subject matter experts to fulfill roles across its portfolio groups.

Cons

Senior leaders are more concerned with their self-images and personal agendas than managing their teams or focusing on client-facing initiatives. Impressing the CEO is the number one priority, which leads to unnecessary fire drills and hours worked to accommodate the lack of time/project management. Team members are expected to be available 24/7 to complete last minute tasks. Meetings are inefficient and consistently run over time. Leaders are not held accountable for meeting deadlines or completing their assigned tasks which then fall to others without consequence. “Impact” is a term that is highlighted and central to MGT’s mission. However, emphasis is not placed on making a true impact…with clients or the communities “served” by the fulfillment of projects. Opportunities are lost due to the lack of authenticity and the desire to increase revenue rather than truly understand what is required to support potential clients to achieve the impact they are seeking.

Pros

The management team for the proposal department are lovely people and supportive. As a freelancer you are paid an hourly rate, and there is no micromanagement. Great work/life balance because you get to set your own hours.

Cons

The company is expanding rapidly through acquisition and losing some of that wholesomeness it had when I first joined. There also is no path for growth. You also don't have that much control over how much work you get assigned and there is hardly ever enough work to work a full week, it's better for part-time work.

Pros

Remote work place but turnover is high

Cons

One of the worst places to look for a long-term career. Senior management will tell you what you want to hear about career growth, promotions, teamwork, and supporting employees, but don’t expect their actions to match their words. Employees are valued only as long as they are useful, and once they are not, they can be quickly replaced or let go. The company constantly promotes how much it cares about its people, but my experience showed the exact opposite. The culture and values advertised by leadership did not align with reality.
