Pros
Dive into learning a wide array of new components on your own by completing different RFQ.
Cons
This isn't an ideal environment if you're looking to develop your design skills. The company heavily emphasizes conceptualization over project execution. Deeply political internal culture. Despite numerous departments, mechanical designers are often saddled with decision-making across all areas, The applications team merely criticizes without offering concrete proposals. You'll encounter a significant amount of unnecessary documentation and a complete absence of a robust design library—what exists is disorganized and shows 30 years of neglect. Furthermore, the applications team is hesitant to ask customers clarifying questions during RFQs and remains silent in meetings, hindering effective communication. Even after three decades, there's a lack of standardized quoting procedures to simplify the process. Operations are also severely hampered by slow systems, poor IT support, and a lack of departmental databases, making basic tasks like sourcing incredibly difficult as suppliers become unresponsive.
