Pros

Many, many hard working, knowledgeable people there. Relaxed working environment where you can wear jeans every day. Compensation on par with marketplace.

Cons

Fewer hard working, knowledgeable people around than there used to be. Key leaders and important engineering talent have been tossed aside in two rounds of reductions in 2014. Top leadership sold the board and The Street its vision of growth that is proving to be folly, and RIF is their solution. Enter at your peril.

Pros

Great engineering company with outstanding talent.

Cons

Jeff Graves is driving MTS into the ground. How can a company double its revenue and become a billion dollar company if the entire operation is run on a shoe string budget?
