Pros

I had a good boss who cared about those who worked for him.

Cons

Pay wasn't great. Arconic doesn't care about the people working for it. They also claim to promote safety first, but this isn't reflected in practice or expectations. Lack of attention to detail in engineering. Unqualified people are often promoted beyond their ability and sometimes blamed for subsequent failure. It's a company basing itself on innovation after having spun off from Alcoa, but that innovation isn't better than competitors; there is little differentiation and possibly some loss of competitiveness due to reduction of vertical integration.

Aluminum manufacturing provides exciting and challenging opportunities to test and reward engineers for all disciplines. You will never stop learning; life will never be mundane.

Cons

Unexpected equipment failures will happen at the worst possible time, Time and effort is required to recover back to full production.
