Great benefits, lacking pay - CNC Setup Machinist OTTO Engineering Employee Review

Pros

Health insurance is top notch, owner is a good natured and reasonable individual, profit sharing, company events are good, comfortable work environment.

Cons

The company uses overtime to boost take home pay so that many employees are underpaid, but still taking home yearly more than the competition can offer. When the company is doing well this is a bad trade, 50 hours a week for slightly above average yearly, but the second 'normal' overtime is cut you're making 60-80% of what your contemporaries at other companies make. Other departments and salaried positions are not effected by this, only machine shop, tool room, stamping and possibly molding.

Pros

- Good work-life balance - Everyone comes in to work every day - People are nice. Generally they don't care if you're kinda slacking off unless there's an emergency - You get to make military products that aren't actually weapons - Good diversity in the engineering departments

Cons

- No option to work from home, even if your job can be done fully remotely (except if your boss is cool) - All projects I've been on have had a bad case of scope creep - At least in the firmware team, R&D is done during production. Toy projects are uncommon. - Engineers don't seem to take much pride in their work (anymore) - Production processes are much better set up for hardware designs than for any kind of software. - Quality and End of Line testing are both overworked and aren't set up to test firmware.
