Growing Company - Quality Assurance Technician RBC Medical Innovations Employee Review

All of the people I worked with were amazing and the company environment was great

There were many points during the internship where I didn’t have a lot to do

Lots of young, energetic local talent. A good place to start and get a little experience for recent college grads not ready to leave home.

Don't trust the job description. Regardless of what the job description says, new engineers are brought in to do the tedious documentation for a handful of insiders with seniority. Hired engineers should expect to be forced into nontechnical roles of verification testing or design transfer. The moment you show any resistance to this, you'll promptly be shown the door. Typical employee retention is less than two years, the precise amount of time it takes one to fully realize their situation and find another job. Management team and project managers are very inexperienced, with many pretenders who try to fake it with overconfidence. Due to their insecurity, management team deliberately isolates and excludes anyone who knows more than they do, rather than take advantage of the experience to improve processes. As a consequence, nothing ever gets better. The development process is invariably chaotic and inefficient. Overly confident management thinks they can manipulate employees with Machiavellian shenanigans, but these schemes are transparent.
