PACCAR reviews

Not much smart engineers that are "Game changer" in the heavy duty industry, just couple of average "wall-follower" engineers that are riding on an old success legacy. You may find it as a great learning place If you don't know nothing about engines or your engineering skills are average at best. Full of old people and back stabbers, and if you are a woman or part of any other visible minorities, we might keep you just to display our diversity but don't expect anything else. They will make your life miserable just to make profitable, but the employees are basically modern slaves with ties and and a false idea of belonging to something big.

The culture at PACCAR is stifling and depressing. It's quieter than a library the majority of the day with little collaboration. You don't feel like you can express honest opinions to management for fear of being cast out. The processes are old and PACCAR does not promote change management whatsoever. The systems don't communicate to each other and the current system is so out-dated that it is no longer supported. We've had so much turnover in IT that they can't even keep up with all the systems issues. Low pay for all the responsibilities of the position. And unless you are a white male, don't expect to go too far within the company. Case in point: a former employee of mine, a white male, was promoted 2 levels in pay grade, something I was told in the past was not the way PACCAR operated. That I had to earn my way to the next level and then the next. Should have known they meant because I am female that I was never going to get the same treatment.
