The shop that keeps Pittsburgh ticking - Avis employé CNC Machinist Conturo Prototyping

good culture and flexible schedule

small company with lots of responsibilities

Casual work environment. Easy to request PTO. Can produce high quality machined parts that "look cool."

Was hired as an engineer and was only instructed to do inspection work, no actual engineering. Quality as a whole is not a priority and that department was bypassed on several jobs. Adherence to standards (including the handbook) is minimal. Was not taken seriously on multiple accounts, including when violation of the handbook (alcohol on site) was presented to management. Respect for quality as a department was less than adequate. Product delivery is valued above all else - including quality results, data, proper verification and customer relations. Management lacks the experience to delegate and make informed decisions in regards to customer and regulatory requirements. Culture is very niche and not does not incorporate inclusion for all employees.
