Pros

Small company with low overhead due to use of virtual office space only as needed, enables more competitive salaries. Telework is nice, but not always conducive to effective communication and leadership. The company get togethers are fun, and using the Caps season ticket seats was also a perk.

Cons

It shouldn't be surprising that even in such a small company, the bottom line will always trump everything else. And yet, when that became my reality, it was still a huge shock. The individuals I believed were my friends and allies proved themselves otherwise. Loyalty at MBL is expected to flow up, and if you are lucky will sometimes flow down, but that can (and will?) quickly and easily change. If you go to work for MBL, keep in mind that you and only you will be looking after your bottom line. There is no clear path for career advancement within the company. Basically, if leadership likes you, you will be promoted, and your ideas will be given a voice, etc... If you fall out of favor though, watch out!

Good afternoon! First, I want to thank you for taking the time to recount your experience while employed at MBL Technologies. Although your time at MBL did not seemingly end on a positive note, I appreciate your willingness to credit our company with your comments in the "pro" section. As with all businesses, profitability and "the bottom-line" will always be a priority, as this is how businesses keep their employees employed. MBL is no exception. Our focus on profitability translates into annual compensation increases, generous bonuses and ensures that we can continue hosting the fun company get-togethers, as noted in your review. We are happy to report that our average employee tenure is well within the national average for consulting companies. Understanding that nothing last forever, MBL's goal is to foster a work environment that develops our employees and prepares them for their next opportunity. I apologize that we did not meet our goal in this instance. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

- The Professional Development program with MBL is very robust and flexible. They supported me as I completed my master's, which I had started prior to coming to MBL. - Career Development is certainly a focus here at MBL. Leadership wants to see all employees thrive and will work to do their best to find the right fit for everyone. From this support, I have been exposed to proposal writing, speaking at conferences, and exploring new opportunities for MBL that are of interest to me. - As a predominately virtual company, MBL works to create opportunities for employees to gather outside of work. This includes baseball games, end of year celebrations, and happy hours/dinners to instill a community beyond work.

Cons

No cons immediately come to mind. MBL leadership is very proactive with spotting areas of improvement and acting on them.
