Pros

Great people to work with.

Cons

Zero communication and true leadership. Rarely do you see those making the important decisions out on the floor. The culture that has developed is dysfunctional. No accountability. Unrealistic expectations. Inability to properly plan across the board. Everything is urgent, everything is ‘now’. Expectations to put your life on hold for the company at the drop of a hat. There were signs of life at the end of 2022, but since then has rapidly gone down hill.

Pros

Free Coffee, Free parking, Free Water

Cons

Onto is very short sighted and very disorganized. They operate on two ERP systems, there are no processes, inaccurate bills of materials, inaccurate production plans, no continuous improvement plans, no strategic direction, no career advancement opportunities, lower than average salaries, disgruntled employees, high turnover, high stress, poor raises, and chaotic interactions. Their solution is to hire managers externally to put more pressure on the people trying to get the job done with limited resources and too many responsibilities.

Pros

Technicians are supportive. Generally pleasant employees.

Cons

Empty promises and illusions of growth from management. Contractor conversions can take years. Poor escalation structuring. Systems Engineering seems understaffed and/or under supported. Employees are misguided due to lack of direction and horrible communication. A lot of tribal knowledge that rarely makes it to other ATE’s. High turnover rate for ATE’s since you are either outsourced, cross trained on a new product last minute or burnt out.
