      People management and HR are still in the dark ages - Director, Human Resources Alcoa Employee Review

      Pros

      Fairly decentralized so you can do good work within your own business. Plenty of opportunities to work internationally or on global teams. Alcoa name still carries some weight with external vendors, etc. Full breadth employee benefits.

      Cons

      Current CEO says some of the right things but fails to back it up with corresponding action. First career HR professional put into top HR job was a disappointment - she just left the company and her replacement is another non-HR professional. Most of the talent within HR has left over the past 3 yrs. Company has lost its integrity, especially among top management.

      Pros

      Ability to work 100% remote.

      Cons

      ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
