Used to be an excellent company to work for under Lyle Jackson. Nowadays if you are not Italian you are going nowhere. - Anonymous employee Leonardo Employee Review

Pros

The staff are very friendly and they will help you cope with an Organisation that is going down.

Cons

Only Money matter these days, especially at the expense of employees. Management do not care about their employees, are very happy to see them leave and would even hold the door open for them. Current Italian Senior Management have no emotional intelligence or understanding of the Australian market place. Promises, while being made, are almost never kept. Opportunity for advancement is incredibly rare if you are not Italian. Opportunity for growth is incredibly rare. No freedom of expression especially regarding the decisions of Senior Management otherwise you will be forced to leave with or without a payout.

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.
