What is it like working as a Design Engineer?
December 2014
Challenging work with a good work/life balance.
Design Engineer:
Pros: Paid training (e.g: ASME BPV codes, transient analysis, lean six sigma)
Great work/life balance: they're understanding of coming in later, no need to "punch the clock" at 8 am everyday.
Open to constant improvement; no need to hide your problems; it's encouraged to raise the issues.
Good pay.
Cons: Communication could be better between some groups. It's a large company so it's easy to get confused on some projects.
Work computers could be better, a bit slow and frustrating at points.

Cons: Work pressure, stress.
December 2014
Design Engineer:

September 2014
The PCB Manufacturing Is A Very Unstable Industry.
Design Engineer:
Highly stressful environment due to unstable sales and production levels. Do not recommend working for a company that is owned by it's own Management or privately held. Highly recommend researching company history for salaried employees and hiring/layoff trends.
