MTSI Reviews

Pros

Small company atmosphere with big company ambitions.

Pros

MtsI pays well, we get two bonuses a year, and we have the best picnics/parties. I have a flexible schedule.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing.

Pros

- Awesome program missions
- Excellent learning environment

Pros

"Employees first" is one of the company's core values, and they practice it. The company treats its employees well, with good benefits, an ESOP, and lots of freedom. Even when times are tough (like during the budget sequestration and government shutdown scares of the past few years), much effort is made to keep everyone on board and gainfully employed. Customer problems are interesting and satisfying to work. New contracts are pursued mindfully and deliberately, with a focus only on those opportunities where the leadership feels that the company can bring real value to the table.

Advice to Management

Don't sell out, keep the focus on employees first, stick with the ESOP.

Pros

Great Pay, Good leave, Nice People

Pros

In my niche I'm fully embedded and supporting my USAF customer, meaning MTSI is simply a middleman for pay and benefits. By minimizing the cost / distractions attributable to being an employee, all three of us benefit. As a still-smallish & lean company one doesn't have to fight forms, bureaucracy, and narrow, preconceived notions of how something must be done.... rather they stay nimble enough to achieve. Moving to all employee owned.

Advice to Management

Keep the overhead costs of time/effort to employees low. Don't strive to grow big (e.g. seek max revenue) but rather to be profitable (e.g. seek max value). Stay rather small and nimble.

Pros

Strong core values, great work environment, employee owned, very professional and friendly management and employees.

Advice to Management

Please never change what you are doing that make MTSI great.

Pros

Solving important problems for our nation and having fun while doing it! Soon to be 100% employee owned. A good deal of autonomy to work how and when you want to work. Not a lot of bureaucratic red tape "processes" that get in the way of real engineering and real customer support.

Advice to Management

In the short time I've been here I've seen some erosion of our company culture as we attempt the transition to a larger company. This is a big deal and should not be taken lightly, it has ruined companies in the past.

New processes being implemented without concern for their effect on our responsiveness to the customer. New processes being implemented with no data to measure effectiveness, before/after, etc. Large scale decisions like this should be data driven.

Pros

Colleagues, organization culture and benefits

Pros

A company that truly cares about its people. Very competitive compensation package. Congenial atmosphere with flat hierarchy

Advice to Management

Maintain your focus on the personnel. Employees are loyal to the company
