Pros

In fairness to ASC, they have very few layoffs, are financially strong and growing. There are also a handful of very nice/bright people there that are stuck for now.

Cons

The company pushes people to the breaking point. Forget about work-life balance. You can easily put in 12+ hour days and still not be caught up on your workload. They are reactive, not proactive. Many people feel defeated and often talk about wanting to leave. There is no talent development effort in place. This is a ok place to come for 1 - 2 years, gain a marketable skill set and move on. As stated above, they have a handful of very bright people in place, but in general they've not been able to attract top talent. There is no connection with Management...and management will throw you under the bus every chance they get to boost their own ego. This is not an environment that encourages innovation and create thought.

Thanks for your review, and I appreciate your feedback. Although it might not always feel that way, management at ASC is constantly focused on the health and well-being of our employees. As a result of your review, we polled all of our employees to ask how much overtime they wanted. The results indicated that all but a few wanted to continue overtime, but that only 15% wanted 12 hrs per day. The majority of employees wanted to work 10 hrs/day, and as a result we switched to 10 hrs/day. Also, for those that wanted to work straight-time only, we agreed to give them 8 hrs/day. Now, we only consider 12 hr/days in special circumstances. Thanks for your advice.

Thanks for the review. You are correct that we have lots of work, and it's also true that sometimes that work load can add stress to your day. Sorry about that. We are continuing to take steps to improve the work efforts so that they occur with fewer roadblocks. Hopefully that will make your day less stressful in the future. As for the investment opportunities, ASC is privately held and as such does not issue stock or options to employees.

Pros

Decent starter job for controls engineer

Cons

Management will very rarely have your back as the dollar sign is gods word. Field work sounds exciting at first but will ship you out on back to back multi-month jobs without breaks. There are snakes in the other departments that will try to bring you down to bring themselves up. Benefits arent great either and judge you for taking sick days and vacation time.
