Pros

It’s a job in Bozeman. If you want to be in Bozeman then there are not a ton of career options so you have to be happy for the income.

Cons

This is no longer that innovative, exciting, positive energetic “start up company” that it used to be. There has been A LOT of exceptionally talented people who have left in the last 2 years and a lot of talented people that were laid off.. Not sure where this company is headed....but for me it was no longer a tolerable or stable work environment and it was a relief when I left. At Montana Instruments, I witnessed, racism towards the Asian culture, feeling of pressure around not being a conservative, and certainly some sexism towards the very few women that work there. There was more than a few lay offs, cuts to team pay which was a nice chunk of my income, constant pressure and concerns about the finances, and a new negative executive team that was intolerable. The fellow employees I had were really great people to work with but it has turned into a “keep your head down” and protect your job kind of environment. From what I’ve heard they can no longer even afford to provide coffee for the employees.... not sure what that means but I always loved the good coffee we had there!

We are sorry to hear that this was your experience while working at MI. We will do our best to ensure those behaviors and racism you mentioned do not exist at Montana Instruments. We do pride ourselves on following our values and we will continue to work harder and better at living those out. I am happy to say that we have not cut the coffee and continue to support our local coffee shops. Thank you for being willing to share your feedback with us.
