OTTO ENGINEERING

Working since year 2003 at Otto Engineering is great experience and opportunites to learn many new things about the production line.

Learning many things of the production including in lining assembly work and individual such as working individual and team work.

Various training classes are conducted by the company to enhance working skills.

Management are always willing to give guidance and feedback to employees.

Suggestion at the employee level are always welcome by the management and that makes the atomosphere more friendly at work which motivates the employees to learn the new things and perform the best of the best quality production to satisfy the company customers.

Work environment is clean. Advancement opportunities are present. Production manager was top-notch. It would be sometimes frustrating because a good number of assembly line employees speak sub-par english, and trying to communicate with them could be difficult at times, and even occasionally cause a reject, failed part, or numerous other problems with production. I think sometimes Otto can be loyal  to a fault; continuing to employ workers who do not meet rate and have no desire to advance their knowledge and efficiency. If you're in assembly, don't expect a CEO's salary, of course. Overall, though, it was a great job, with good benefits, job security, and good management. If you're in assembly, do not expect to be able to text on the line. If you are seen doing this, a lot of employees will report it, and if a manager spots you, there's a good chance to be fired right on the spot. They will, however, allow the use of iPods and MP3 players on the line, which is a plus.

A typical day for an engineer at Otto requires knowledge in many fields including materials definition (plastics and ferrous/non-ferrous metals), mechanical design of switches on Pro-Engineer, and knowledge of where all data is stored on the many non-aligned servers.

My co-workers are great people that really like to make Otto better place work.

The hardest part of the design engineering position is convincing upper management that a specific set of data points to an overall process improvement or new method that needs to be investigated. Along with the challenges that this represents, this provides one you with opportunities to explore changes that might never had been thought of before.

High marks for quality facilities and products.  Very clean work environment.
Top notch medical policy and benefits.
Extremely inflexible work schedule.
Feels like HR is out to penalize employees.
Managers need to learn people skills and maybe consider that they are not always the most knowledgeable on a given subject.
Creativity and new ideas are not appreciated.
If you are not salaried (hourly) the pay looks good until you lose overtime, which is 25% of pay for the 50 hour week.
Company has a lot of long-term employees.  They are always right.


I left after having my first Child, working in special assembly. Earning plentiful above minimum wage, Assembling airplane landing gears and bomb selectors, with government contracts in place. The company has more than doubled in physical size. Now they are employing at minimum wage, I have no interest of returning.

a typical day at work consists of making custom switches for the company. we build them from scratch and then they are shipped out. i enjoy everything at otto; from working to the people. otto has also good benifits like health and dental insurance. otto even helps you with buying or renting out homes. if you need an extra hand they even help you loans and help for school.

Management needs to learn how not to micro manage everything.
Departments are very divided and employees can not communicate problem to the correct people. The general work environment is very clean and organized.
Pay was terrible, if you stood up for what you believed in you would be shot down and lectured. 

I learned a lot while working at Otto Engineering. They provided me with a blue print class so that I was able to do the job correctly and accurately. They give the workers two paid 15 minute breaks, and one unpaid 30 minute lunch. I enjoy the environment and the people around.

Managed inside and outside sales force Western US and Canada.  I handled 40-50 emails or phone calls per day, travel 20%.   My primary duties where: management of staff, interdepartmental and customer interaction, and contract negotiations.  I also worked on new product design team alongside coworkers from different departments to ensure the viability of new products
