Vantaggi

benefits package = platinum pay = gold co-workers = silver work environment = copper

Svantaggi

This company is a revolving door with constant changes and unrealistic expectations. I can't speak for every department, but beware..."Operations Specialist" is just a fancy way of customer service/data entry/grunt work! I don't care how they spin it, the work is extremely boring and the evaluations do not reflect the quality of your work. Furthermore, you'll most likely be reviewed by someone who has never done your job and started working with the company after you were hired--which is kinda backwards considering McMaster-Carr prides itself on its century old history of being built from the ground up, but maybe 2% of their managers and supervisors start at an entry-level position.

Benefits were great! Hybrid work schedule.

Svantaggi

Really strict about metrics. You can get laid off for getting below 80% per quarter.

Vantaggi

- Pay/benefits are incredibly generous - People are generally easy/nice to work with - Note that the Systems department seems to be fairly isolated from the negative issues discussed in other reviews (e.g. tension between warehouse workers and management) - I haven't experienced any of those issues within the systems department. In my opinion, Systems is a great place to work and develop as an engineer. - Hybrid work style (3 days in office). Personally, I like hybrid more than both fully in-office and fully remote styles. - Great cafeteria with good food and cheap prices. - Good work/life balance (outside of being on call, I can leave work at work).

Svantaggi

- Work is not super interesting to me. I come from a highly technical, but very different (not ecommerce/industrial supplies), background where I was doing work I was much more interested in. No doubt there are folks in Systems who love the domain though. - While I'm not on call a ton (1-2 weeks every few months), I really hate being on call. I like to leave work at work. Note that joining at least one reliability team is expected within your first year or so.
