What is it like working as an Electrical Engineer?
April 2016
The paycheck is always on time.
Electrical Engineer:
Pros: Not much.
Cons: Management is non existent. Make sure you get your time card in on time with the right numbers, but that's about it.
March 2016
EE in Machine Design for Car Manufacturers.
Electrical Engineer:
Pros: Lax environment, done after 40 hours. Work is not too complicated. Good benefits. Design keeps things from getting to stale.
Cons: "Making it work" is appreciated far more than "getting it done right". Training is very lackluster. No say in process of machines, expected to just do electrical side like I'm told. EE Design is end phase of design so you are the one who makes up all of those "just a day or two late" times in the schedule. Essentially, given a machine design and you have to deal with it.
March 2016
Advice.
Electrical Engineer:
