Pros

- Diverse range of projects - Some of the staff are world leading experts in key technology areas

Cons

- Below average salary - Little to no career progression - No meaningful performance related pay or incentives - Lack of long term leadership and strategy causes the company to chase immediate goals, to the detriment of its overall market standing and workforce morale - Risk averse investment and product development process can be frustrating to work in; good ideas are seldom rewarded or acted upon - Little to no mentoring or succession planning, making it difficult to increase your skills or progress - More work than there are staff to do it, and the situation is only getting worse; individuals in key positions are expected to work excessive hours to get projects over the line, with no reward and often no thanks for their work

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.
