Manufacturing Engineer • Former Employee
Fremont, California, United States
November 6, 2019
Pros: I had a blast during my internship. I was able to be around many seasoned engineers and automotive contractors. It was an extremely hands-on internship, with a lot of overtime.

* Great/understanding bosses
* Hands-on experience
* Non-union
Cons: - Seemed to be a lot of wasted money due to deadlines.

- Way too many managers in areas they are not needed.
