Engineer at China Mobile

"Great learning experiences. Consumer facing and extensive work exposure."

Engineer at Instron

"When I started at Instron, I was hired at $50k annually with the ability to be proactive and change what I see fit. After a little over a year, I've been promoted once and salary increased by $25k. The downfall of my position is that management buy in to ideas, but are non-existent in implementation. Manufacturing Engineering is required to make process benefiting changes however floor personnel management are unaccommodating and allow personnel to halt projects and delay implementation."

What don't you like about working at Xerox?

"Company treats employees poorly, as a financial liability rather than a skilled asset. There have not been any raises in 5 years, and when employees are promoted, they also do not receive an increase in pay for the added responsibilities. As a result, morale is extremely poor. As jobs diasappear, people are becoming both territorial and grasping. The company does not seem to realize the impact of their policies is causing cracks in the foundation; these can't remain hidden for much longer."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Sign up for Undercover Boss. I'm serious. You are out of touch and need to understand what is going on in your company. You can't do that from your office. Come walk a day in my shoes."

Engineer at FORTE

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"The company is named after the owner, not the managers."

What do you like about working at FORTE?

"Family type work environment. Opportunity to create new ideas. There is a lot of growth potential in the company assuming the employees are allowed to make full contributions to projects."

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

"It's a good company but make sure to negotiate for a comfortable salary as you might not get an increase. Also know that just because you are really good at something, someone who has more experience, even if it's barley related to the field, will get paid more. FORTE hires individuates that can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk all to often."

What don't you like about working at FORTE?

"There is no promoting from within. There is no formal schedule performance reviews. The is no bonus plan to promote well executed and on time projects. Many of the views on how thing should be done come from individuals that have no knowledge on newer equipment and a vague idea of what it can do and how it works."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Trust the people you hire to do the work, and stop causing more issues by questioning them. Bring engineers in at the ground level of a project because its becoming clear your promising a Unicorn when we can only find a Donkey."
