Pros

There are no pros for this company. Try talking with one of their employees one day privately and step back and listen to the things that are shared.

Cons

The company is run by a father and son team and both do not have any leadership or management skills. Management style of both is basically passive/aggresive and they usually will try to turn the tables on any conversation into something that is your fault. They usually hire people on the sales side that kiss up to them and drink the Kool-Aid and don't understand that their best asset is their people. They like to position themselves as being on the forefront of automotive technology but under the son's leadership, projects go in and are stalled. They don't listen to customers at all. The company culture is like a boys club. If you're one of the boys then you're in. The father is some sort of religious person or something and even has a book published about his life but having never read the book and seeing his actions, I wouldn't believe in his faith. Work life balance is out of the question as the owner and son will try to bully you into working more for the sake of the company with little benefits.

Pros

I have been at MT for over 5-years and have been blessed by my time at the company. I look at the negative feedback below and it is pretty clear that there is a disgruntled person looking to even a score at the expense of the rest of the company (shameful approach). The company isn't perfect but the good far outweighs the bad and its not even a close race. This has been very much an entrepreneurial company and has grown tremendously over the past five years. Some people are cutout for it and some people are not. If you like fast paced, being on the front lines and making it happen then you will love it here. As for me, all I see is upside opportunity with the recent acquisition of the company there is a lot that is taking shape for years to come and it is exciting to be a part of.

Cons

As we grow it unfortunate that as you get into the mid-sized tier company that you start to lose some of the personal interaction that you have been used to historically. I would like to see the full stack go into the public cloud and some of the compliance constraints and regulations on our banking partners keep it from moving there but lets keep our fingers crossed!

Pros

Good tech stack, and some very good developers. There is the chance to learn a lot and you are never lacking for work. Some of the people there are nice.

Cons

I have never worked anywhere with a culture as negative, distrustful, and flat out mean as this place. Employees are treated as if they are children who need strict rules rather than adults. The policies here are numerous, and often you are not told of rules until you are scolded for breaking them. Sometimes these "rules" aren't even documented, or at very least enforced very unevenly. Work-life balance is non-existent. Employees on PTO are regularly expected to be available, and you are always expected to put work before anything else. And don't even think about doing anything but work while you're there. Socialization is frowned upon and you are expected to track your hours down to the minute. Incredibly, I was even told to track the time I spent THINKING about anything but work. Not sure how I would go about doing that. Overall, just a miserable place to work. There is a complete lack of basic humanity and kindness. Find somewhere that will treat you with basic decency. UPDATE: I forgot to mention a couple fun facts. When I decided to leave, they found out. After being accused of all sorts of nonsense, I was forced into a small office while my desk property was thrown into a box. The cherry on top was that they then tried to not pay me for my last week. Real professionalism.
