Pros

- Benefits are definitely above average for the DoD industrial complex - Company leadership is solid and level-headed - Many employee appreciation events throughout the year - Healthy semi-annual bonuses - Overall a great work environment

Cons

- Vesting period for ESOP is a little long (6 years for 100%) - You only get 10 of the 11 federal holidays and have to use PTO or flex time to cover the 11th should you choose to take off for it - The company leaned to the "conservative side" when it came to Covid protocol. Employees were required to be 100% in-office by mid-2021. Don't expect to do any telecommuting or hybrid work schedules here.

MTSI Response

Thanks for taking time to post a review. It sounds like you have a very positive impression of MTSI so far which is great to hear! You highlighted a few key differentiators for MTSI. MTSI's total compensation strategy seeks to achieve a balance between short and long term incentives. Our ESOP is vested partially over six years as a long term incentive (retirement benefit) for co-workers to contribute to the long term success of the team. I would compare this to other companies which offer rewards mostly for short-term growth. MTSI seeks to be an enduring company focused on long term success of our co-workers, customers, and the missions we support. To balance the ESOP as a long term incentive, we offer semi-annual performance bonuses as a short term incentive. Another retirement benefit/incentive, MTSI's 6% 401k matching plan, is vested immediately. For remote work options: some of our teams, especially working classified programs, must be on site nearly 100% of the time. Other teams have gone almost fully remote over the past few years. We are trying to better highlight on-site vs hybrid vs remote work in our job postings and we work with our customers to create more flexible and hybrid opportunities when possible. Just wanted to clarify a few of your points regarding our total compensation plan. Thanks again for sharing your feedback.
