Meaningful and diverse work at a global company that needs some updates

Mechanical design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Experienced and passionate employees to work with and learn from. 2. Career opportunities and projects outside of the job are available for those who voice their interest. 3. Executives are friendly and willing to meet with young employees when asked. 4. Engineering work is technical and challenging. Requires knowledge of fundamentals, continued learning, analysis, collaboration with subject matter experts and simulations. This type of engineering is similar to Eng School Senior Design Projects.

Cons

1. Facilities are a dated, failing and an eye sore. Running joke in the office place. 2. Career planning and development should be addressed more clearly and frequently. 3. Combative feel to the exit interview process. HR policies not clear enough to make use of/take part in. 4. Informal discussion in the office place is typically negative

Cons

-Management Turnover-I've been part of 4-5 Management changes in 5 years mainly in Operations-which we support. Each Regime has a new philosophy that will ramp up only to either be let go or to change direction by upper management. -Outdated Facilities, Carpeted Walls, Failing Bathrooms -Europe and Asia Sales Operations have been left to fend for themselves over the last 5 years. -Complexity of the business offers many challenges to get a job done will
