    Business Outlook

    Pros

    There's almost a cliche about MSA in Pittsburgh - it seems like everyone who works in IT worked at MSA for a year or two. The company is good about giving people a chance to learn technology on the job. Work-life balance was good too. I almost never had a call after work and the hours were somewhat flexible.

    Cons

    Pay was really not good, nor were benefits. I was there a few years ago and the pay was low even by Pittsburgh standards. I can't imagine it's better now. The 401k match was a joke, though I do have to say that at the time, it was Principal who managed the 401K and they did a great job.

    MSA as a company is a great place for both freshers and experienced candidates like me looking for a solid client base and preferred line of business to work in given the large portfolio.

    Pros

    MSA has gone through a changes in executive leadership over the last year. The new leadership has implemented very positive changes. Employees now have the option to work 100% remotely giving employees the option to relocate outside of the Pittsburgh area. This decision was based on feedback from the employees. MSA will be moving to a new modern office location that includes parking early next year if you opt to go into the office. All in all the changes are very positive and provide much needed organizational transparency for all employees.

    Cons

    Enhance the benefit package -- 401k matching, vacation, and medical benefits
