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.
