Design Engineer at Honda Motor
in Marysville, OH

What do you like about working at Honda Motor?

"job security, hard to get fired, decent pay, benefits, additional 2 weeks off for shutdown through the year. Pretty good annual bonuses"

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."

Design Engineer at Lewis Innovative Technologies

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Helped establish the company but was rewarded with layoff on first downturn"

What do you like about working at Lewis Innovative Technologies?

"Freedom to work flexible schedule. Ability to contribute to what work the company receives."

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

"Take what is told to you with a grain of salt. Management is egocentric and likes to be stroked. They are self appointed mentors but don't necessarily have the qualifications fill that role. If you challege ambiguity, they tend to claim to be encouragers as an excuse to tell an untruth. The company can be fun to work for if you watch your step and your back."

"Management is unprofessional and does not put forth a professional front to customers. Company too dependent on Good-ole-boy philosophy to obtain work. Management would praise employees to their face and then talke very negatively behind their back."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Be up front with employees, do not lie, don't talk about them in front of peers in a negative light. Don't be so hypocritical. Do what you say you will."

in Toluca, IL

What do you like about working at General Motors?

"I like the environment and the vehicles. Cars are what I like to do, and something I am always looking to improve."

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

"Be honest, work hard, and always remember that it is a company that really represents the core values of honesty, non-discrimination, and effort."

What don't you like about working at General Motors?

"I dislike the growth potential. The problem is that, due to the bankruptcy, GM has slowed its programs in Mexico, basically removing the possibility of growing within GM more than what the US can grow. At this point, even the temporal assignments are almost inexistent and are almost unique for the US positions."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"None. They are doing their best to keep the talent, and trying to promote my efforts as much as possible. The problem is, I really don't want to wait until GM thinks it's okay for the Mexico unit to grow again."
