Pros

Really interesting work, something new all the time.

Cons

Alcoa does take advantage of not paying a comparable wage. Upper Level mangers get very well compensated but do not want to pay the people actually doing the work on same scale as other companies for the equivalent skills and accomplishments.

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.
