Whip Mix - Engineering Positions - Anonymous employee Whip Mix Employee Review

The engineering environment is right on the factory floor, which can be okay as there is a production support component to the job responsibilities. There is a lot of traffic in and out of the office all day, making concentration difficult at times. The office is basically a glass box, with engineers being monitored constantly by production associates and supervisors, who will complain if it seems engineers are getting "privileges" that exceed those of other factory workers. Engineers are treated in a very blue collar fashion, with fixed hours for arrival, lunch, and departure. Don't ever be late when returning for lunch! As you will generate complaints from other production associates and supervisors. There is no working late even if you desire or need to catch up. The the R&D role for engineers is greatly overstated, as engineers work on a task by task basis and never work with sales and marketing for new products.
