Q&A With Automation Group Employees

I wish had more PLC HMI experience.

I wish I had more PLC experience.

The owner is a liar.

We moved to a new location in April of 2019; it is open and collaborative. There are directors, managers, HR and estimating departments, offices encircling the open space which comfortably full of four cubicle units for PMs and marketing, and there are big desks placed together for the engineers. There is also a lounge area near one of the conference rooms. It is very spacious.

Open and collaborative team layout.

Open so that the “boss” can watch you work and your focus is challenged with everyone talking around you.

Fast paced and fun loving.

The vibe is work hard play hard and teamwork comes first. I like the company values.

Varies goes from 80 hours a week to layoffs.

We have gone to hockey games, destruction derbies, baseball and basketball games. We have even gone golfing and bowling! We also go to national parks and a few of us have taken our Jeeps out exploring.

Outside of work, Automation Group employees have been able to participate in the county fair's destruction derby, watching the car show parade together, team outings, and end of the year banquets.

I received my offer letter within a few hours after my final interview.

The hiring manager, I heard back right away.

We get a membership to Fit Republic and a yearly pass to the national parks!

Flexible hours and a culture of professionals. Creative with no micro-managing.

The engineering team is awesome. They have more trained automation professionals than anyone around. That makes projects run smooth and rookies learn fast.

Unprofessional yet demanding of unrealistic timelines.

Always changing for the better. Sadly some dont like change.

They have an experienced HR department.

They have a five year training program and a career path outline.

There have not been any layoffs for many many years.

First off you must be a team player. If you want everything your way then go work elsewhere. Secondly you need experience in automation or at least a can-do attitude to learn it.

They use an on-boarding system, boot-camp, surveys and a buddy system so new employees get acclimated.

Up and down depending on profitability.

Clowns that stab you after joking.
