FAAC Reviews

Benefits are below industry standard, but at least they exist. Their covid-19 response was poor for at least the first few months of the pandemic. It seemed like the initial precautions like staggered shifts came from senior engineers rather than upper management. There was no enforcement of these precautions either, with groups of people hanging out in common areas. People constantly walked around maskless, even into offices of people who they acknowledged wanted to follow mask guidelines. They did nothing to stop the spread of misinformation, such as various engineers touting unproven treatments (we all know how hydroxychloroquine turned out) and walking the line of believing it's all a hoax. Aside from the pandemic response, we also had to deal with political microaggressions. Obviously, this is an industry that is more right-leaning than other engineering fields. That would be fine if anyone knew how to keep their political beliefs out of the office and not denigrate anyone left of center, not shame people for being "brainwashed" by public schools, and stop leaving propaganda all over the kitchen area. I have strong political beliefs, but I recognized the workplace is not the environment to promote fringe conspiracy theories and other propaganda.

Poor salaries, poor healthcare benefits, etc. Let's just say poor everything compared to any other company I've been with after. Lack of respect for absolute intelligence. Instead deferring to cookie cutter interview questions and paper credentials. I laugh about the credentials, i was in IT and they wanted people with certs, and they don't follow about 90% of the best practices in the industry. So if a cert says you are industry relevant, then why do you want someone who knows how it should be done, if you aren't doing it right in the first place? Did i mention low salaries and no perks? If you interview here after school, ask for double what they offer and you will be close to what you can get anywhere else. But anywhere else will also give you better retirement options and other perks.
