I've worked for MEIT for a very long time now, and feel the corporate culture is exceptionally family friendly. It is easy to balance work and life even when life throws curve balls at you. 

I can't say enough good about how far out of their way the company, everyone from the person that empties the waste baskets, to the CEO make you feel like you are part of a family. If I were to retire today, I could do so happy, knowing I spent so much of my career doing important work with such great people!

Get your job done, do it well, and you are going to succeed with this company!  A lot depends on your individual manager, but I have been very fortunate with the leadership I have worked under for the most part.

Like any family, there are issues, and not to distract from the positives, there are some problems. I have only 3 real issues with the company, the first being compensation, which is considerably below private sector market rate, the second, and related issue, being that MEIT is dependent upon government contracts and budgets, job security isn't exactly great. I've been fortunate, but I have seen a lot of good people that contributed greatly to our organizations success laid off due to budget cuts. And lastly, those that do manage to stay, stay a very long time. Opportunities for advancement are few, and very far between.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I was employed by Aegis Aerospace as a subcontractor to another company on a govt/military related contract and worked mostly for the primary contractor. However everyone I ever dealt with at Aegis, from the recruiter to HR to Payroll to the security officer and my onsite supervisor could not have been a better experience. I only wish I could have said that about the primary contractor which terminated the Aegis/my contract with only two days warning!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
A little hard to get to know Aegis only because I worked for the primary contractor.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good corporate culture, very responsive and dedicated executive/HR/Payroll/Security Officer. I felt very well taken care of and looked after.  Many of them went out of their way to say how sorry they were that the primary contractor handled this termination in such a negative manner.

Work is performed offsite at the NASA GSFC complex among a team of engineers of diverse disciplines. Critical duties involve working towards getting the GPM spacecraft ready for launch and mission operations activities. 

My key area of growth has been the gaining of insight into the modes operation of the TDRS satellites network and the NASA Near Earth Network systems.

GPM project management has a relaxed approach to leadership. Individual contributors are allowed to feel a sense of project responsibility and ownership over what we do.

My co-workers are generally friendly and good at what they do.

The hardest part of the job is perhaps the struggles that ensue at work due to improperly defined goals and expectations from the leadership team.

Meeting project goals and Milestones and working interactively with other teammates are the most enjoyable part of the job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Occasionally working from home one day a week.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Virtually no onboarding (“you’ll figure it out on your own”), and one of the worst managers I’ve ever experienced.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Haphazard and lacking in direction from management.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Trying all day to figure out how to load NASA software on my computer because there is no one locally to help.

MEIT does more for their employees than any employer I have ever worked for, they truly care about their employee's well-being. 

They are a government contractor so rates are governed by contracts so high pay and raises are rare. Benefits have gone down while the price has gone up but this is pretty standard for most companies these days.

Work life balance is great! Each contract is different and scheduling depends on workload but MEIT is really easy going when it comes to work life balance.

Overall, it was a good place to work. My coworkers were great and really made the culture and environment fun to work at. The managers for the most part were really nice and understanding and pushed for the team's success. The customer and compensation is what made it poor. I was being paid less than coworkers who were doing the same job as I was. And the customer belittled our work and it made it seem like our work didn't meet expectations. That made it hard to be proud of all the work I did. 

Set up equipment for tourque and tentioning for valves or tower what ever the job consist of we were there to do the job to perfection management was awesome and always on site safety was first at every thing we did on site.Carrying the equipment up the ladders was the hardest part of the job. Coworkers were some of the best people to ever work with i enjoyed the company of these guys. overall good place to work..Thank You

I'm one of many contractor for MEI working at NASA.  I work with great people.  My schedule is flexible and I'm close to home.  In the beginning MEI fought to ensure I was taken care of and I believe they still do that in most places.  At least where I am, however, there is no work stability.  That works for some but not for me any longer.  MEI is a great company to work for but be careful where the job is.

Prior to working at MEIT I was their customer. As a customer I never heard anything negative from their employees, MEIT always responded quickly to requests, and they always did what they said they would do, in the time they said they would do it. I now work directly for MEIT and I could not have made a better decision! MEIT truly cares about their employees, my co-workers are my family, I hope to retire here.
