Nothing special, normal job

Pros

Monthly bonuses are nice but not always distributed because of the quality numbers. Plenty of work to do, little down time and things are always evolving.

Cons

Management is heavily involved and doesn't give engineering employees much autonomy. Expect to be low balled on your hourly wage. The recruiter hyped up what I would be brining home after bonuses and overtime.

The Culture of Half Truth

Pros

- Very Structured, at least on paper - Senior Management are very personable and down to earth, particularly Gene - Enforced 8 hours work day due to labor lawsuit - still the largest CNC machine manufacturer in North America - Great Service department

Cons

- Most employees are being treated like zombies and humanoids, only managers are allowed to think. - Senior Management surrounded themselves with too many BS artists unfit as middle and low level supervisors work. - Too much effort at middle and lower level with emphasis on looking good, sweeping dirt under the rug, but not doing any real good work. - Too much effort at middle and lower management level to do songs and dances at the high level meetings, but mostly are just hypes, smokescreens, or useless demos. - completely antiquated technology, but no manager knows how to move forward except BS'ing the top. - Many are being mistreated by the supervisors, pitted one against another like in the gladiatorial sports. - Too many old-timers only cared about status quo, hiding behind what they know and throwing mud at what they don't know. - Lots of preaching on team work and efficiency, but most mid/low level management made sure that anyone who follows the preaching would be placed first by the exit door sign. - Used to have great bonus (2011), but now it is just a sham. - Company sales grow too fast for its infra-structure to keep pace. - while some are satisfied with their jobs and where they are, there are just too many unhappy campers and too much frictions at work.

Pros

Hourly (not salary) for most non management positions, monthly performance bonuses. Exposure to projects and technology not seen anywhere else. Culture of hard work and good pay.

Cons

Overtime is common if not expected in most departments when the company is busy (could be a pro and con for some people). Reactive to most problems instead of proactive solutions which is slowly changing.
