Pros

Most people were very nice. Amazing facility in Madison. I had some good experiences with some members of my group. Pay is average

Cons

Terrible management Managers promote people who sleep or just skip work (playing favorites) Drama-filled place No room to grow No guidance Mid-managers do not know the products Mid-managers treat employees like objects and will not care to yell and scream at personnel Employees have been seen sleeping and watching movies while others are doing the work HR does not help in any situation Employees who have been kicked off projects are being promoted by mid-managers to lead projects Some employees are allowed to work in the entire facility while others are made to stay at their desk and are not even allowed to go to go to quiet place to get work done. Mid-management will lie to get their way, show zero leadership skills, and do not care about you. Meetings have almost turned into physical confrontations (slammed desk, screaming, pitching fits) Your work is never safe, employees will/have sabotage other employees work to make them look bad. You can have proof, it will not matter. Environment is like a middle school playground Mid-managers hire their friends and will promote them regardless of if they make contributions to the company or not.

Pros

The best part of MI is the people in the trenches — the field engineers, techs, and specialists who show up, solve problems, and support each other even when the system around them doesn’t. The teamwork, the shared experience, and the professionalism of the technical staff are what keep the wheels turning. Those relationships are the real value.

Cons

Systemic issues repeat without meaningful correction, and workarounds often become the long‑term solution. Expertise doesn’t always translate into organizational change, which leads to a cycle of recurring problems and unnecessary rework. Administrative and process inconsistencies add friction that the technical teams end up absorbing.
