Interesting Work. Great People. Positive Momentum - Manager Innovative Composite Engineering Employee Review

Innovative Composites is a solid employer. The company is on a respectable growth trajectory, and the team is foucused on succeeding together. There were constant new technical challenges to target as an engineer - and I saw immediate impacts to product quality based on my actions. There is no bureaucracy to cut through, and management focus is on building/improving systems. Everyone is invested in the group's success, and we worked together democratically to exceed goals every day. The scale is approachable enough that I wore several hats, and really honed my engineering skills and developed cross-functional leadership skills as a result.

It was a pretty consistent challenge, which may not be everyone's cup of tea. New programs were frequently being started, and customer requirements expanded scope regularly. This put pressure on the team to stretch, and this could lead to loggerheads between teams. I did note a substantial improvement in cross-group problem solving during my time, and I believe the company is maturing into a period of sustainable growth without overtaxing its workforce.

The team at Innovative Composite Engineering is great to work with. It's a fast-paced manufacturing environment which means every day is unique and I'm never bored, Love the 4/10 work schedule!

Uses an older ERP system, causes some headache.
