Nice place to work, but clearly has a problem with aging workforce. Needs to restructure soon to stay competitive.

Business Outlook

Pros

The people at MTS are extremely qualified in their respective positions. Many people have advanced degrees and many years of experience. Four day work weeks in the summer are nice as well.

Cons

MTS is investing too much in the stagnant testing systems division. They should be reallocating capital to the more profitable sensors division, especially with the growing trends of big data and internet of things.

Business Outlook

Pros

Intereesting work and good products.

Cons

Dealing with the continuing corporate shuffle is terrible. The goal here seems to be, add more management and squeeze the workers for their bonuses.

Constant personnel and priority change

Business Outlook

Pros

Incredible engineering and problems to solve. People very committed to being successful and making great products for customers.

Cons

Constant change in people and priorities. Organisation continues to reorganize and priorities shift on a quarterly basis. Budgets freeze mid-year. Development shifts to pulling in project revenue. Managers continually move, are hired, or leave. Groups are restructured faster than the teams can absorb changes. In a few years here, have had 6 changes in who I directly report to, not to mention the managers above them changing.
