Alcoa Employee Reviews for Wax Process Owner

"If you want to be a yes person and do not think Howmet wants you"

What do you like about working at Alcoa?

"Doing outside audits for Howmet Corporate."

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

"If you want to spend more time playing company politics than getting things done, Howmet is for you."

What don't you like about working at Alcoa?

"Upper management had their own agenda which was not in line with Corporate. You were rated on how well you did on corporate policy but they would not let you implement the corporate policies and then held that against you. My position, as other process owners, need more say in how their areas were run from supervisors to floor personal."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Listen to and support your process owners. If your decision was to go against corporate policy then take that responsibility and stand behind it. Do not turn around and place blame on your process owners."
