All in all, a positive experience and challenging

Mechanical Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Provides a very good opportunity to express your capabilities if you are a highly motivated person with a positive attitude towards others and your objectives.

Cons: Long hours make it impossible to have a normal family life while working at AM. Relatively new management is manipulative and fails to meet goals. I see that management not as the best AM has had, with all basic values established years ago.
