Big Mistake! Warning signs during interview! - werkgeversreview Engineer bij OTTO Engineering

Benefits are good. They have profit sharing, 401K matching and good Vacation.

Middle management thinks they have a lot of power.

- Good work-life balance - Everyone comes in to work every day - People are nice. Generally they don't care if you're kinda slacking off unless there's an emergency - You get to make military products that aren't actually weapons - Good diversity in the engineering departments

- No option to work from home, even if your job can be done fully remotely (except if your boss is cool) - All projects I've been on have had a bad case of scope creep - At least in the firmware team, R&D is done during production. Toy projects are uncommon. - Engineers don't seem to take much pride in their work (anymore) - Production processes are much better set up for hardware designs than for any kind of software. - Quality and End of Line testing are both overworked and aren't set up to test firmware.
