Pros

It's one of the biggest in the industry and very old (pre-20th century) WLB is okay Unlimited PTO Very friendly working environment

Cons

Crap pay for software engineers Crazy hours depending on the team. If you need to do things that will affect the roadway, often you have to wait till night time to start. No one likes working PM hours.

Pros

The North American CEO Genuinely cares about the well being of the employees and made it clear that work life balance was to be respected. They publicly disclosed their vacation time they took to encourage people to catch up. The work was interesting and Kapsch is always on the bleeding edge of technology implementation in the North American Market. Every project manager I worked with on Tolling and Traffic was made me want to learn how to operate on their level. Kapsch was very inclusive, I was provided a pride version of the email signature in 2021 and was never pressured to change it to appease customers. I deeply appreciated that,

Cons

The workload can be demanding as the headcount has not caught up to pre pandemic levels caused by delays in project awards as funding dries up.
