#MetTelEmployeeSpotlight“: I joined MetTel in 2011 as an intern and the journey since has been very interesting. I thoroughly enjoy being part of the versatile workforce—I get to learn new things every day while working on the latest technology and innovative custom solutions. As a Senior Engineer and manager of the network engineering team, I get to dive deep into technology while still being involved in all aspects of the team. The past 9+ years at MetTel have shown me how important it is to stay on top of technology and be ahead of the game. For example, MetTel was one of the early companies working on SD-WAN. It makes a huge difference and it amazes me how strategic, technology-oriented, and futuristic we have been. A true pioneer in the industry!” – Abhijeet Mate, Manager – Network Engineering

#MetTelEmployeeSpotlight: “From my first day, looking out at the scenic sea from the MetTel New York office, I was fascinated. It has been a wonderful experience since then.

#MetTelEmployeeSpotlight: “I’ve worn many hats since joining MetTel in 2009. I’ve learned that hard work and dedication go a long way. I really feel like an integral part of this company and not ‘a badge with a number on it.’ I started in customer care, moved to the wireless department, and now manage the mobility warehouse in Utah. We built it from the ground up into what it is today, something I am very proud of. Running a warehouse in the current pandemic has had its challenges, but because of the good longstanding relationships with our vendors we have managed to continue to keep our clients supplied with what they need when they need it.”- Jason Moody, Warehouse Supervisor
