Pros

They have a new office with actual windows which is a big change from the windowless basement. Work 1-2 years at cadmakers, learn EKL, spend time outside of working hours learning automotive elements of CATIA and then you can go get a nice virtual engineer position at companies like Rivian, Tesla or Nikola aswell as major automotive and aerospace companies. its a good starter company for people who want to learn CATIA or EKL but its important to be aware that the company wont help you learn anything outside the companies direct requirements so you will have to teach yourself.

Cons

You will never hear that you did a 'good job', praise or credit doesn't exist. Overtime is expected and not rewarded, not even a thanks for the effort. This is a company that micromanages. Remember while looking at glassdoor reviews that all those 5 star's are written by the CEO and HR team and for any prospective HR person, management fired the entire HR team at the start of the pandemic and kept only the accountants.

Pros

1. Felt involved and valued as a junior employee: Had opportunities to work on meaningful tasks and gained exposure to a modern tech stack. 2. Lots of fun team events, often with free food and drink.

Cons

Onboarding were a little “figure it out as you go”, probably would’ve been smoother if my manager hadn’t been on vacation right after I joined.
