Having Fun - Engineering Manager M3D Employee Review

Good place to work, learned a lot

not many, was good place

M3D is a pretty decent place in the grand scale of good and bad jobs to work for. If you're part of the production team the pay is adequate and on par with other similar jobs in the area. They take pride in having generally relaxed working environment and a casual dress code. The people who work there are polite and some even genuinely like each other. As of writing this they have still have semi flexible hours depending on production needs. It can be very convenient to take a day off for doctor's appointments and other things life throws your way. Management is understanding and reasonable in requests that are made in advance.

Working at this company can be very frustrating at times. There is a lack of organization, clear structure and follow through. Underneath all the polite smiles and talk of being a close knit company/team there is a real division between management, engineers, owners and the production team. This generally wouldn't be a big problem if it didn't lead to additional confusion and if it wasn't the exact opposite of what they say they want to practice. There seems to be little chance of advancement for team members regardless of what managment pep talks promise. Two years (and some months) and no one (to my knowledge) has been promoted in either title or pay even if additional responsibilities were added to their daily routine. And if there were why were they not acknowledged or celebrated?
