Great place to work, perhaps not the best place for an apprenticeship
Great place to work, perhaps not the best place for an apprenticeship
Enjoyed working there. The pay and benefits were good, but not amazing. Management was pretty good, as I cannot complain even after being fired.
Not enough machine time or time doing any specific tasks beyond deburring, stoning/polishing, and assembly. I understand with the advancements of CNC machining that a lot of these other tasks are less frequent/necessary. However, that compounded with not wanting an apprentice to do it makes it more difficult to gain more skills.
A lot of miscommunication or unclear communication issues where there isn't a clear answer; reading between the lines. I know being a glorified, defacto janitor is common for apprentices for a while, but it does seem a bit excessive when it is a weekly, sometimes daily, occurrence to have no work to do or be allowed to do anything.
More structure for apprentices, and not just regarding cleaning and painting. A tool account would also be helpful for apprentices, as tools are expensive and inflation isn't helping.

Mechanical Engineering Intern
It was a very good interview with one of the managers. He asked me technical questions related to the role, some based on the seven-principles theory and some on conditional logic.
Engineer
Extremely difficult. Had 8 interviews over 3 months. Some even went through the whole process, got hired, and still had their offers retracted after giving 2 weeks' notice to their current employment. Very scary.
Aerodynamics Engineer
Referred by an employer. I only faced the first round, as I was not selected for the next step. The interview went on for an hour, sharing about the position, company, and job responsibilities.
