MTSI

A typical day at work can be challenging at times. There can be many interuptions at times, so I have developed good multi-tasking skills and definiltely how to set priorities and meet deadlines. There are times when I am doing 3 jobs at once..For example, we could be in the middle of invoicing, meeting our deadline to get them all done and posted, and in the middle of this, I need to get A/R and unbilled data ready for each of our groups(there are about 10) PMR meetings for the month and then on top of that there could be emails that I need to respond to or sometimes contract administrators will send me emails that a customer needs to know the amount that we can deobligate that day. So to sum it up, every day is a challenge but rewarding at the same time.
Co-workers seem to take advantage of our flexibility and miss a lot of work leaving me and others to do their jobs while they are out of work. Some of them can have an attitiude if you try and ask them for information that you may need to complete a task.
The hardest part of my job is trying to reconcile the unbilled recievables. We recently converted from GCS to Cost Point and we are still trying to figure out how to accomplish this in Cost Point, so this has definitely been a challenge.
The most enjoyable part of my job is knowing that I am/was able to complete a task from start to finish without any interruptions, but that has been a rare occassion lately.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Their number 1 Core Value is "Employees come first" and they keep this promise to their employees with a passion!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I cannot think of anything stressful during my work experience.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I felt like I was  involved in something meaningful.  The missions I worked on addressed the most important threats to our nation.

The strong camaraderie and the work ethic among co-workers coupled with the knowledge we are all equal business owners are valuable incentives to maintaining motivation and loyalty.

The Leadership Team demonstrates unwavering dedication to their employee's work-life balance and education, as well as providing multiple methods of conveying corporate communication at all levels.

I never felt like a cog.  I was a member of a team and maintained close personal relationships with many of my co-workers across multiple business units throughout my career.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The start of any typical day at MTSI included gathering project status updates from my team and then enjoying the freedom to accomplish my personal workload. Weekly and monthly activities included meeting with corporate operational and functional teams and my team's unique clients.

MTSI has been one of the best companies that I've worked for. The corporate culture, driven by strong core values that are more than simply empty words, is one that puts a lot of emphasis on the individual's contribution to the mission of the company. Being a 100% ESOP, your work is not just improving the stock for a board or nebulous shareholders, it's actually improving it for you and your fellow coworkers because you are all the shareholders. 

I would also say that MTSI is a highly collaborative company, where you will be expected to support lots of different projects, and you'll likely be out of your comfort zone often. This means that it takes initiative, adaptability, and a true sense of teamwork to really succeed. You won't be able to just punch in and hide out, not drawing attention to yourself. If you are willing to put in the effort and take charge of your career, you couldn't ask for a better company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working in an isolated lab environment provided me with invaluable hands-on experience as a Linux System Administrator. I had the opportunity to learn and apply new skills, enhancing my technical expertise and problem-solving abilities in a practical setting

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Rather than being stressful, it was about overcoming challenges that helped me develop new skill sets

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Working in an understanding, helpful, and mentoring team environment was incredibly rewarding. The support and guidance from my colleagues fostered a collaborative atmosphere where everyone could thrive and grow together.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Providing our customers with timely and effective solutions is a cornerstone of our service. We prioritize responsiveness and efficiency to ensure that every customer receives the support they need when they need it

This is the first part of the companies mission statement -  "Employees come first."  They are true to the statement, and because of the attitude toward the employees the employees are enthusiastic to do a good job for the company.  They have won so many awards for being a great place to work because the employees truly are happy.  Management works with employees to achieve goals, rather than setting unrealistic expectations.  The company works hard to make sure during contract re-negotiation the employees will have a job if possible.  The benefits/time off is outstanding, and the ESOP is phenomenal.  It is a great feeling to know you are a part owner and a valuable contributor to the company.  We are a group of owners striving to make the company grow and prosper.

I enjoyed working for MTSI and would have liked to have stayed longer, but the contract ended and there was no other place to go as a follow-on.  Such is the life of a defense contractor.  Senior management talks about the employees as being the number one resource and the most important part of the business... you'd think they'd figure out a way to keep them if they were so important.  When I left I took a few resumes with me from co-workers, so that might be a clue.

MTSI leadership goes out of its way to support core values and employees even as the company grows.  The ESOP is set up in a way that is much fairer than many others.  MTSI hosts employee-focused events to get everyone together, which is great because people often work at different locations.  My favorite part is the people.  Second is the work our co-workers do; MTSI supports some of the most critical programs for DoD and Intel customers.  

Work with Contracts, PMs, and Project Controllers to deliver accurate billings to customer each month. I have learn to compromise and communicate effectively when dealing with different personalities. The hardest part about my job is the lack of advancement and initiatives from upper managements to expand their employees roles. The most enjoyable part of the job is the BENEFITS and PEOPLE. I work with amazing and intelligent co-workers that teach me something everyday.

What is the best part of working at the company?
People treat you with dignity and respect.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There isn't any. Everyone is very laid back and they work enviorment is healthy

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone is very friendly, even the young interns. They take good care of their employees.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lots of laughter, being serious when need be. And working very hard to keep the place clean.

My position is collocated with our government customer, and I only interface with a couple of other MTSI employees regularly. This creates a disconnect between the company and the employees that perform all of their work at the customer’s location. The benefits are great, ESOP has made a lot of money.
