Family First - Anonymous employee AMAX Engineering Employee Review

This review is quite surprising because it is frankly, false. While AMAX is a family-owned business, every management position is held by a person with a strong and proven track record in their areas of expertise, and are fully-qualified for their position by experience and capability, whether or not they are family. There has never been a single instance in the 40 year history of the company in which “family” has come in and was given a VP or Director title with no experience. Furthermore, to make a distinction between family and non-family members and their level of work ethic and commitment is unfair—one thing that makes AMAX special is the equal commitment to make the company successful, and the equal expectations for all employees to make that commitment. At AMAX there is no distinction between expectations of family members versus non-family—when you are part of AMAX, you are part of the AMAX family, and we all work together to achieve success. We do understand there are pros and cons that are unique to family-owned businesses, and we are always open to addressing any employee concerns and ways in which we can improve. But we do have to take a strong and clear stance when the content of the review is based on an outright lie.
