Pros

- cheap canteen - remote working 4x month - convenient conciergerie (dry cleaners, post) - passion for quality

Cons

- Far from being an international or diverse company!!! 70% of the population are Italian men +40 years old. - Meetings are held in Italian, official communications are sent out in Italian. no one cares that you don’t understand anything. Learn Italian or die. - Extremely hierarchical. You end up working to please their egos. So much arrogance, prepotente & political issues. - Lack of transparency on salaries, no career path. - People love to stay long hours in the office just to show they are there. - Incompetent HR. You have to send them 5 mails before they reply. Unfriendly. - Aberration to change. With the excuse of holding onto tradition, they end up losing opportunities and falling behind in innovations.

Pros

Great products. Good holiday schedule. Pretty good work-life balance. Base compensation and bonus pretty good. Stability (little to no layoffs)

Cons

Bad management. No perks whatsoever beyond base and bonus - no profit sharing, not even matching charitable contributions. 401(k) company match is low. Favoritism, unequal workload and resource distribution, and major accountability issues. Transparency issues.
