      Good Company but could improve to be a GREAT Company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most of the people that work at Makino are very nice individuals and willing to help

      Cons

      Requires a lot of travel nationally and most of the company doesn't understand the stresses of such work. With the amount of travel and time spent away from home, the compensation is not where it needs to be (FSE's & Apps). Management and HR will not take suggestions seriously from anyone other than managers or higher ups. There are a lot of guys at the company that have been working there for many years and are very cocky/arrogant.

      Challenging as far as deadlines and workload, but not in terms of mechanical engineering.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      When the machine tool business is good, Makino can be a very rewarding place to work. Much of the work involves integration of high speed machine tool systems and tooling, which can be interesting and challenging. However the job is more oriented around process design, not mechanical design, other than layout.

      Cons

      The machine tool business is very cyclic. Therefore job stability is not good; in a downturn it is certainly possible to be laid off or furloughed. The job can require a lot of traveling, when an integrated machining system is being deployed at a customer's location, the applications engineer will often need to be on-site. The profit margins in this business are meager and the competition between machine tool companies can be cutthroat.
