Ball Aerospace reviews

Company lead by boomers that are out of touch, completely ignore employee feedback and a management focused style of development. You as a developer can bring ideas to the table that can save up a lot of development time and or headaches, and they'll just ignore them. Almost all of the projects end in some shape or form in failure, because of this very reason. A real story was of an entire team of like 8 people failing to finish their tasks and the manager was more worried about his burnout charts not looking pretty, instead of addressing the issue of why isn't work being finished. This is NOT a place to grow as a developer with proper industry standards, its just a place to collect a paycheck and get work experience under your belt to land a job in a better place.

I was lied to during recruitment and accepted an entry level non-exempt position to get my "foot in the door" during covid. Even with 5+ years of manufacturing and quality experience under my belt, in management positions mind you, I was told since I started as "non-exempt", I do not qualify for higher level salary positions that I previously obtained at other companies. Ball uses a "years of service at Ball" to justify giving people lower paid positions, and it doesn't matter what sort experience you have obtained outside of Ball. I have asked to be provided with the approved "policies" that justify this, and they have failed to provide me with any sort of documentation. HR clearly doesn't care about you, or your career, and will save the company money at the cost of retention. If you want to climb the latter and build a future for yourself here, expect it to take 10 years on a crap salary that does not meet the cost of living standards in Colorado. Also, get everything in writing from this place! Too many empty promises to count on one hand.
