Interesting Work, but be careful - Project Engineer Technology Brewing Employee Review

You may well obtain skills for production line industry using lasers and cameras or develop some prototype fabrication/modeling capabilities. This could be transferable to other jobs and assembly line corporations but not in my case. Good place if you want to apply SolidWorks 3D modeling or Visual Studio C++ programming to Ethernet data communications and controls.

I was told that I would be developing prototypes which never happened. Application of my skills is not well appreciated. Uncompensated overtime is expected. Insane schedule to meet task milestones and goals. Your movements are constantly monitored. Management can be overbearing and condescending. Accomplishments disregarded and faults underscored. Do not expect a supportive letter of recommendation. I wrote one for a co-op student since management did not provide. Demeaning corporate culture (nothing is what it seems) and sweatshop environment. Not entering this work experience in my resume.

- Amazing culture - the team hangs out often outside of work, very casual atmosphere, snacks, drinks, great coffee - Really bright team of engineers and support staff - everyone is extremely competent due to a thorough hiring process - Interesting and challenging robotics and vision projects. Very cool and rewarding to see project's end result. - You can tell that management really cares about and respects their employees and customers - it shows out in everything they do. - Five stars - it really is that great.

- Structure is still being put in place as the company is experiencing lots of growth and has more projects that they can handle. So there are definitely growing pains in areas like resource allocation and needing to work some overtime when projects closing. Process is currently being put in place to iron out these kinks.
