Difficult culture

Pros

MTS has exciting products and customers. The coworkers are caring and some of the nicest people you can work with. MTS continues to have a strong volunteer and community culture, although I'm not sure how long that will last.

Cons

No one is safe, everyone fears for their jobs. This is not a speak up culture as advertised in the company values. Many good people are leaving the company and along with them goes the experience and history which is a valuable asset to a company with little structure or documented policies.

Once a great company, now mediocre at best

Pros

Good people and facilities. Very interesting work and smart engineers who are willing to share their experience and expertise. Nice office facilities (Eden Prairie).

Cons

Has gone terribly down hill since Chip Emery left. Laura Hamilton and those who followed her are solely focused upon their bonuses and the current quarterly results. They have limited understanding of what the company could become if they allowed innovation to flourish rather than add layers of management and bureaucracy. Just look at the SGA as a % of sales to see what is happening. When the economy cools the heads will roll.

Pros

Coworkers are great but the oppressive management usually stifles conversation. Management is verbally rude and offensive. Engineering equipment is usually not an issue and some of the best is purchased. This refers to the Cary NC division.

Cons

Your work will go unrecognized. Disrespectful, abusive management. No positive awards, just negative. When you interview, just look at the faces of the engineering employees, they are tired and unhappy. DO NOT WORK HERE! This refers to the Cary NC division.
