Pros

An individual who is driven and self motivated can learn about many different facets of design and engineering disciplines. Structural trussing design, sheet metal design, mechanical and architectural design are all part of what is expected from cleanroom designer. Use of AutoCAD, Inventor, Revit, are the main programs that are used and encouraged. At times marketing material is requested, in which case, programs such as Showcase and Fusion are also explored. Development of intermediate/ high level parametric modeling skills are encouraged in order to increase speed and consistency of designs.

Cons

Due to the nature of the custom market conditions and previous top level sales growth approach, work load can be uneven for production designers which requires large amounts of OT in the clean room sector. Hopeful as new management is attempting to target more high profit segments in order to increase bottom line profitability and hopefully creating a more level work load.

Pros

There are no pros. This is a horrible company. Senior Management and Director Level got constant promotions and a bonus when company told employees no bonus this year. One level up shared this info with some of us in the department.

Cons

Micro Management at its best. Professional relationship with this company is very abusive. 2 minute bathroom breaks. No flexibility.

Pros

Culture was good and close until changes occurred. People cared about each other until company got too large / spread out.

Cons

Everything was too secretive. Salaries were not proportionate and senior management had very high salaries and bonuses. No wonder why they didn't want to people to know how much they made compared to the average worker.
