Great company to start at - Engineer 1 Patriot Machine Employee Review

Wonderful place to work. Large enough to have good company benefits yet small enough to have a friendly comfortable work setting and feel apart of a team. Nonetheless apart of a family owned company. The company has continued to grow and expand and has plenty of room to do so. This provides opportunities to move up the ranks and allows the ambitious to carve out their own roles in a growing company. The founders Bob and Judy are still regularly on site and have active rolls in the company giving the company a united front from management to each individuals role.

I think all the negatives I have read on Glassdoor have been resolved. Not to sound like I’m kissing anyone’s butt I’ll explain. I believe all great and even good companies have to start out with a very driven very ambitious core. As everything we do as humans the beginning usually starts with a lot of failures and new companies can’t afford this. Patriot has made it through many trials and tribulations(as is my assumption from reading other Glassdoor reviews) however the company is in a very stable position now. I really have no complaints. My days at Patriot are usually very good. Enough routine that I feel comfortable but also a good bit of unique work that I feel challenged and learn and enjoy the days.
