Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If your a small town guy and can have the basic life this is the job for you. Its not a bad job with decent pay and decent benefits. I cant complain too much, but now with a growing family its getting harder and harder. One of the best first time engineer jobs you can get around Columbus Ohio, but in the long run you will be making the same pay as a first time engineer."

What don't you like about working at Honda Motor?

"Flex time is something that will never happen. Rule and rule are made to keep engineers in line as if were children, such as no cups or liquids at your desk, 10 minutes break time or can get written up. More than 95% of work given is not innovated,it basically get one thing down and move on to the next job the work is already there. Have to keep track of hours and where we are spending them. Watched like a hawk on budgets we are charging time to, and have to explain why I go over on hours. The whole place works on a constant blame game before anything gets done. I constantly get asked why am I over hours on a project, than down the road asked why am I not working enough overtime.. Management flow makes no sense as they all move around every year. And we get a a personal progress review that pretty much let much lets management tell us how they feel about us. Raises are a joke and promotions are even a bigger joke, and pretty much given depending on what your boss thinks of you. I am making the same amount of money as my bosses base salary and he has 20 years experience on me. Decent job, and couldn't get fired no matter how bad I mess up."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Focus on the morale of my employees, Not be so hard on little things that dont matter in the work space."
