Pros

A lot of responsibility given to engineer and it is cool to have ownership over a consumer product. Still has a start-up mentality and feel. The best part of the company is its culture - especially its candidness.

Cons

NPD engineers are taken for granted. They are underpaid and overworked. NPD requires a certain skill set that isn’t captured by an engineer title alone since we wear many hats including taking on some of the responsibilities of project leaders. Also starting to see the quality of products go down as pressure on cost and schedule remains #1 priority. Our customers will start to see that too.

Milwaukee Tool Response

Thank you for this candid review! Our environment at Milwaukee isn’t exactly what you’d expect of a tool company. In fact, it feels a little more like Silicon Valley. To be able to achieve the success we’ve had, our entire team operates with the kind of speed and agility you’re likely to find in a tech startup versus a global, multi-billion-dollar company.

Pros

Amazing culture. They are serious about their company culture. Great employee benefits.

Cons

At times you might find yourself without directions but it isn't really a company thing. It is about how much you engage with them
