Pros

The projects are complex and international, if you show willingness to work abroad you are very likely to be assigned to a project in a foreign country. This gives you the opportunity to learn a lot and gain experience. Some of the engineers with whom the legal counsel works closely are very helpful and will gladly work with you.

Cons

Legal department is divided into "foreign projects" and "Italian projects". There is no coordination between the two areas, which on paper report to the General Counsel, but in reality are absolutely independent. The GC is involved at a high level in the management of the company, but in doing so neglects the management of the legal department. Moreover, the company is a family-owned business. This is perceived in every activity: the company's procedures and policies are outdated and even from human resources there is no perception of adequate attention to the well-being of employees.

Pros

There is nothing positive to say

Cons

The company has a tremendous turnover. Over 50% of staff have turned over in the past year. They have no clue how to run a company in NYC. Upper management is all from Italy. The office has two tiers, The Italians and the Americans. The Italians have different hours, they stroll in between 9 and 11am. They also get 4 weeks vacation on top of 1 week sick and the standard 3 days PTO. If you are an amaerican, You start with two weeks, (3) if you fight for it and are expected to start at 7am and are expected to be keep the same late hours the Itains do. HR swares that they have turned over a new leaf when they hire you, but it is not true. Upper Management, is bot going anywhere, and they refuse to change. The environment is toxic, and you will sonn find yourself wanting to leave, if you are foolish enough to accept an offer form them. If you are considering an offer, asj them how many people your project has been through. My project had 30 people leave int he past year. So many that they are not allowed to get rid of anyone, even if they should be let go.
