Review drawings, organize work station and inspect components for proper values.  Begin a push assemble line following the pace of the lead. PCBs are then lined into a flow solder machine. As the assembled and soldered boards come off machine you place them into a rinsing basket for ultrasonic cleaning. Clipping, 1st inspection and touch-up are the next stop for the PCB. Another ultrasonic wash then off to final inspection. Learned the many facets of electrical assembly. How to interpret the drawings, read work orders, what tools are needed and how to use them. Hand soldering and how to avoid 'cold joints', and what to look for during  inspection and how to fix it without doing damage to the lamination or traces of the board. Management from department to department was fairly seamless. The culture and environment was positive and encouraging. The only  hard part of the job was when more than three people were out for the day we all had to do two or more sets than usual, most of the time that left us behind for the next day or two. I loved the times we 'played' word games while on the line.

For as tech savvy this company is, there are some areas they lack in with updates in world and thats visual trends. They company has been so comfortable with the look and feel of their brand that just as long as their products are top notch then everything else would be fine. Not completely true, they still need to attract customers to come check out the awesome products they output at tradeshows and online ads. 

As far as a day to day enviroment, the people I work with are awesome and very proficient in what they do. I have learned a great deal with my profession as a designer and being able to work around the system to make our own mark in the company.

The hardest part of my job and most challenging was to convince upper management to let go of old design material and move on to the new look of things and what is trending at the moment. Majority of them were very stuck in their old ways.

Either way, I'm loving what I do regardless how hard the moments are at work and being able to be a part of something that builds products to make the work force easier to deal with.

Usual day at work: They want you start early and stay late. Management wants you to come in to help factory than stay late (because they don't come in until 8:30am) and don't think you have worked that hard if you leave after 10 hours. 

If you were able to just work on your daily work there would be no problem but there is mid management that doesn't understand supply chain management and has a DAILY meeting so they can report up what is going on. The mid manager has no idea of supply chain management nor how to discuss things with suppliers and relays on his reporting people to do this but when asked to do it himself neglects to. Also this mid management person is responsible for forecasting parts need to suppliers but has no idea how to do it and will not listen to their predecessor on how to do it.

Most of the equipment and Mechinely are from the 90's and some Stations have a strong chemical smell throughout the 10 hour work days. which are worrying for my own personal health. Management can be hit or miss depending on the day which  lead to confusing schuedules and responabiltys. Despite all of this there are some upsides such as many of the Co Workers being generally nice and talkive people that are willing to help you learn and improve. One of the leads went out of he's way to help me throughout my first couple of weeks and tought me around the compony. However the biggest downfall of working here was the lack of training, there is and was no class room envirment or time given to learn from manuals or book's, you're thrown into a quota and are put under time preseure to meet it from the get go, Most people quit within the 1 month of starting.

Awesome tech, 
loved the job, the team, 
good pay, good work/life balance. 
Fun place to work if you bring the right attitude. 

Fluke is a subsidiary under a large, publicly traded, US-based Fortune 500 tech company. Fortive utilizes Fluke among others to serve different areas of the tech industry globally. 

So with that, it comes with a large number of employees, and the big, bad global, corporate vibes. Your IT might operate in another country. You might have opportunities to work in other countries if you choose. 

So be nice and remember it doesn’t hurt to grow a spine and teach yourself new things. 

Focus on the positives over negatives. 
Every job has both and we don’t evolve without failures. 


 Direct Management is mostly new- newer.  Most of the workers have been there for over 5 years and. Many past their retirement time-frame. Lots of knowledge to be had and plenty of ways to get it. 
Innovation is on the slower end in the processes of  development in the labs. Alot of minor changes to the flow. 
More interested in finding the best format for productivity than promoting healthy work-life relationships.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
not really good just in the door and out and thats it

Customer workflow and product solutions are technically complex, making this a challenging yet very interesting technology to innovate, manufacture and sell. Customer appreciation for Fluke solutions is rewarding.

Since splitting from Danaher the internal pressure to produce results has unintentional created a management culture that focuses on short term results or fixes to get promoted instead of innovation and investments in creating world leading differentiated solutions.

Management team(while nice people) have no clue about what we do and how we do it. They're more worried about engagement surveys and their own PAs, rewarding the lazy workers and dumpjng that workload on others.They complain corporate(Fluke) doesn't respond but I think issues never get reported. We've had managers bully women to tears(more than once) and it never gets reported to corporate. We've had employees threaten to kill each other and yet they're still working here. We're owned by Fortive and their motto is Fortive cares. Don't believe it, the only thing they care about is profits.
