Pros

Just returned from a large customer event and was with several of our executives including our CEO Jeff Graves. I wish every engineer from MTS could have been with me. Our customers are terrific and our new technology was well received. I'm proud to be a part of this company!

Cons

Shortage of engineers was frustrating this past year but improving. Hopefully management has learned a lesson about hiring in advance of orders growth.
