No work life balance. They do not understand the definition of the word salary. They will ask you to set your hours you will be in the office for 40 hours. You will then work more than 40 hours and many Saturdays because they will allocate more work to you than can be completed in 40 hours. With that being said, if you are sick for example on Wednesday and took that day off, but still worked over 40 hours that week, possibly even on a Saturday. Ardabili will still dock you for 8 hours of PTO or sick time. When asked why they do this, they will state " You committed to being here during those hours but you were not. We appreciate that you worked extra hours to get all your projects completed, but you were not here on the hours you committed to so we must deduct you for that."
They are trying very hard to make a quality environment but have gotten waay off track and do not see that. It is a fast paced industry and everyone makes mistakes. When a mistake does occur, the management will spend 3/4 times more time and effort into singling someone out and making a spectacle out of it than just correcting the problem, getting paid and moving on.
There is no consistency in the QC process. Your drawings will be graded and you will find yourself scratching your head often. What was a great idea one day gets criticized and ridiculed the next week.
I can continue on, but the more I type, the more blessed I feel I left.
