Terrible place to work. Work their employees to death. If you work in Finance look somewhere else for a job. - Financial Analyst Alcoa Employee Review

Pros

Great people. Benefits are good. Can't think of any other positive things to say. Bonus is nice to reward your employees...

Cons

Absolutely no work life balance if you work in the Finance department. You are over worked and if you are a great performer your reward is to get buried with more "busy" work and stupid meetings that accomplish nothing. On top of that they don't get rid of people who can't do their jobs so you have to do that as well. They don't treat you like a person. Upper management just screams at you if you make a mistake. Even if it's not your mistake they scream at you and make you do it .. Nobody has any personal responsibility. You work 12 hours come home and eat and then guess what?? It's time to open up the laptop and work some more. Working here has made me depressed and anxiety ridden. I don't get to eat dinner with my family. It's so hard on my family that I'm always at work. So not worth it.

Pros

Ability to work 100% remote.

Cons

ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
