Pros

You are given lots of responsibility and you are challenged everday. From the first interview they tell you that you will be designing and project managing million-dollar projects, and that's exactly what you do. In just a couple years I have become a much better engineer due to the wide variety of concepts and tasks I'm responsible for. Good pay and bennies. They have lots of work, so it's a very stable job. Nice new facilities and good coworkers.

Cons

Because the company is so busy, some days can get hectic. Projects are scheduled tightly and as a result there are always scheduling issues. There seems to always be a crisis brewing. They expect you to design the equipment and project manage, and sometimes that can be a bit overwhelming. This is not a job for a weak engineer. The management, especially the president/owner, expects excellence, so if you make stupid mistakes or show bad judgment, he'll definitely let you know about it.

Pros

You are given a lot of responsibility and learn very quickly. Rather than becoming specialized, you learn a variety of skills that you can translate to many other industries. You work with great people other than upper management. If you are in a position where you are buffered from the owner, than you'll be alright.

Cons

The owner/president does not have a clear set of goals. He wants to make a standard piece of equipment but essentially re-invents the wheel every time. He does not constructively criticize. Rather he rips you to shreds like a bully to feed his own ego. You can give him credit for growing the company as large has he has recently but he also isn't grounded. Decisions aren't made rationally. They are more shoot from the hip. They also like to set you up to fail. If you want to climb the ladder, you essentially become a spineless/gutless puppet of the owner.

Thanks for the feedback. ASC has grown to be the world's leading composite autoclave supplier due to great designs, great products, and most of all a great team of employees who care about the products and customers. We are the best in the world at what we do, and this success does not come without a core belief in perfection and customer satisfaction. I am passionate about this company and our products, and while I recognize that all people have different abilities, I expect each engineer to show a minimum level of attention to the quality of their designs and work product. Anything less is a disservice to the company and to the customer. When an engineer doesn't have pride in their own work, they will inevitably deliver sub-standard product. This does not go unnoticed at ASC, and it will probably result in a frank discussion with me. It sounds like you were on the receiving end of one or more of these discussions, and I'm sure it was not fun for you. Although I have softened my approach the last couple of years, it is still not a fun day for the engineer when he/she decides to deliver sloppy work to his/her manager or me. I hope you've recovered by now. Good luck with your career.

Pros

Lots of nice people there that seem to be stuck there. They seem to have a lot of business coming in,

Cons

Very non professional place to work. Always seems to be a crisis due to poor planning and a poor office management computer system for a firm of this size.
