Pros

• Excellent promotion opportunities due to demographic bubble now retiring. • Good pension (but not as good as it used to be). • World class technical projects. • Good modern workplaces • Strong culture of inclusion • Great training

Cons

• Team leaders in engineering are now in a different 'Project Management' career stream from the teams that they manage. • Tends to over-promise work-from-home possibilities during interviews

Pros

There is not one pro I can think of.

Cons

The culture is extremely toxic and divisive. There is a clear preference shown toward Italian employees over U.S. employees, which creates an unfair and frustrating work environment. Communication is often unprofessional, with frequent yelling, finger-pointing, and disrespectful comments. Management has failed to establish clear roles and responsibilities, leading to constant confusion and conflict between employees. Engineering leadership appears heavily driven by favoritism and routinely treats employees with a lack of professionalism and respect.
