      Crazy CEO with a weird political culture

      Mechanical engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent pay with profit sharing after some time/seniority Good health benefits Lots of engineers Lots of travel

      Cons

      Complete lack of mentorship and valuable feedback for newbies and even more experienced mid level engineers. Some very hot headed, opinionated engineers and management who should be reined in as mentioned by other reviews. For some reason this company seems to attract these type of people. If you are a mild mannered person who is adverse to these abusive personality types you may want to steer clear. The internal politics and method of giving raises tends to place engineer against engineer and is not productive. Way too much time spent doing hands on manual labor that a tech should be doing and not a mechanical engineer. Most of work is not engineering but design which is okay for some but if you want to do real engineering work then look elsewhere. The CEO is a little crazy in my opinion, normally the senior management keeps him out of everyone's hair (as explained to me personally by one of the senior management, and rather amusing but frightening at the same time), but watch out, involvement with him and his micro projects could seriously bite you in the butt. For all intents and purposes the company is really run by the 2nd man in charge, if it wasn't this company wouldn't be where its at today. Lack or professionalism in documentation and in the overall workplace environment can be hard on the morale. Travel can be a real pain for the family man however a possible boon for the single engineer.

      Great place to learn, awful management

      Mechanical engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great place to start out. You'll get to do everything from designing, purchasing machining, and inspecting to assembly. The hands-on experience is extremely valuable in your first couple years. Most of the young employees are friendly and great to work with.

      Cons

      (the following is my opinion) The owner is a racist. Several of the managers are racists. Complaints about millennials and "towel heads" were common from my manager, despite the fact that probably 90% of the company is millennials. Very of the managers have any idea how to manage employees and it's nearly impossible to get feedback or meaningful guidance. Your experience will vary wildly depending on your manager and it can be difficult to move to a different team. Seniority is way overvalued so starting engineers get terrible pay for the first couple years and get very little respect from the older employees. Moving to a different company nearby was the best decision I made. Culture and work environment are 100% better and managers are actually helpful and engaged.

      Terrible Place to Work

      Mechanical engineer

      Pros

      As an engineer you get to wear as many hats as you want.

      Cons

      At any time you can be fired since Peter Zieve is the least stable and business minded CEO. Peter hires you (which apparently he shouldn't if you read up on the lawsuit EI has had on Wikipedia), and ops months later he realizes hired too many people see ya you're fired. He hires based on how many people project managers ask for when talking to them in passing and later realizes that is actually loosing money instead of making it, his solution is to just fire whoever has worked the shortest without and move on with his life.
