Good place to work - Field Service Engineer (FSE) EMD Electronics Employee Review

Great people to work with

Few locations. Need to travel far to office

Higher pay than some industries in the area.

I can only speak for the Blending Department. It is divided into two areas. Germaine is all but dead due to the lack of availability of Germanium Tech. Arsine is run by an egomaniacal supervisor and engineer. The two of them maintain unrealistic expectations for the operators. There is a sense of a constant need to rush around and if anyone does not rush to their expectations, the operators are punished by means of being assigned undesirable jobs, even if unnecessary. Anything short of unquestioning obedience is met with ridicule or outright hostility. The management of Blending does not go over periodic performance evaluations with the operators, and thus, never reviews any issues that need to be addressed with the employees. Additionally, the supervisor is known to gossip about employees whom he feels are substandard to other operators in the department, creating hostility toward the operators in question. The supervisor behaves in an unprofessional manner toward the operators frequently, and does not hide the fact that he plays favorites. Overall, the environment of the Blending department is toxic.
