Pros

Great colleagues and flexible time. Amazing new building. Awesome gym with every thing you can think of. Very understanding and open HR department.

Cons

As a software engineer, if you want to be micromanaged this is the place for you. Managers over the years have been promoted based on their technical abilities rather than their management skills. This has led to a culture where the old-timers are still involved in every single technical detail which does not allow their new generation of engineers to be creative and innovative. The competitors are always a step ahead and PPM is always catching up. It is a shame because there are great and smart people in this company but upper management antiquated culture does not make this an attractive place to work. Compensation wise, good luck. Medical benefits continue to decline, no merit increases last year, no bonuses for the past 3 to 4 years. Not even a Christmas party!

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.
