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.

This company sucks! You will be overworked, under-appreciated, disrespected and offended. DO NOT WORK HERE (Cary, NC)!

Engineer

Business Outlook

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.

Business Outlook

Pros

Have made some good hires in the last year trying to fix some ongoing problems.

Cons

Very poor upper leadership, especially the CEO. Unable to hold sales accountable for selling unprofitable work. Blames Operations and Finance including trusted good employees, for all the issues. Trying to acquire a company? Laughable.
