Pros

- smaller company so it's easy to reach a manager/mentor when help is needed - office employees and shop welders/fabricators are friendly

Cons

- overtime is very common in order to make deadlines for drawing submissions - juggling design and project management for multiple projects gets exhausting and burns out a lot of the MEs - CEO has no filter and will tell you how it is if a project isn't doing well - having a good mentor is crucial for the first couple of projects so if you were assigned to a busy/inattentive mentor then you'll have a rough time

Thanks for your honest review. I appreciate it. Your Pros and Cons make sense and are common at ASC. Yes, we do have lots of work, so our engineers typically work at least 9 hrs per day Mon through Fri. However, on the plus side, although our engineers are salaried exempt employees at ASC, we do pay extra for any work that would happen on weekends. Fortunately, weekend work is quite rare. As for me the CEO - yes, I have always believed in open, direct, and transparent conversations with all ASC employees. I respect you as adults and feel that we should speak honestly. That being said, I do understand that many younger engineers have a difficulty hearing direct feedback, especially coming from engineering schools who teach the "everyone is a winner" philosophy. If you work at ASC, you will be given amazing projects and expected to do amazing things, but with that comes the risk of screwing things up. You won't get fired for the screwups, but you will know that it happened. Remember that you learn much more from the screwups than from the successes in your career. Working at ASC will give you the resilience in your future career. Good luck in your future.

Thanks for the review. You are correct that we have lots of work, and it's also true that sometimes that work load can add stress to your day. Sorry about that. We are continuing to take steps to improve the work efforts so that they occur with fewer roadblocks. Hopefully that will make your day less stressful in the future. As for the investment opportunities, ASC is privately held and as such does not issue stock or options to employees.

Pros

Decent starter job for controls engineer

Cons

Management will very rarely have your back as the dollar sign is gods word. Field work sounds exciting at first but will ship you out on back to back multi-month jobs without breaks. There are snakes in the other departments that will try to bring you down to bring themselves up. Benefits arent great either and judge you for taking sick days and vacation time.
