None

Nominally an engineer, but expected to perform a supervisor’s duties.

For example:

1. When CPUs are purchased, you will not be informed of their specifications or model numbers. You only find out when they are produced and placed on the board.

2. The PM will ask questions about COST, but how can someone who is not at a supervisory level be responsible for this?

3. The department supervisor will change this and that before the end of the day on the day you release the drawings.

4. The PM will modify the SPEC on the day the drawings are released.

5. The company wants to save money by not hiring a mechanical engineer, yet still wants to develop the entire system.

6. Whenever you make any suggestions, they are never adopted.

7. People who have worked at large companies or other companies are advised not to come here. You are paid only an engineer’s salary but are expected to be all-knowing and capable of doing everything.

8. Engineers shoulder all the problems; no matter how many mistakes are made, they are all blamed on the engineers.

9. Projects with different system architectures are initiated simultaneously, and you are expected to develop them at the same time.

10. Doing well will not earn you a raise; doing poorly will result in your year-end bonus being deducted.

11. Although the company is listed, there is no profit sharing.

12. There are a large number of projects every year, and the work is extremely exhausting, yet they keep saying the company is not making money.
