Pros

I can't think of any

Cons

Poor job security and pay. They hire developers from India dirt cheap to work in their dirty old buildings in Huntsville. You can't walk to the bathroom without hearing the Indians babbling in a foreign language. Benefits and pay raises have steadily decreased. They rely too heavily on legacy software and don't dedicate enough resources to keep up with the latest technologies.

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.
