An asset rich company that has been mismanaged for more than 20 years.

Business Outlook

Pros

Technology development people were always well respected by the customer and had a teaming approach that allowed great accomplishments to be made with speed and efficiency.

Cons

The lack of trust between lead management and the operational teams has eroded the company's ability to move nimbly and maintain it's once leadership role in the markets Arconic serves. Rash decisions made by a few have rendered the company impotent. The central R and D center, once a shining star, is on its death bed. Anyone looking to hire into Arconic is better off waiting until the dust settles.
