Personally, I cannot make out why lots of ppl recommend working for this company.
Let me mention some reasons:
1- They're by no means paymaster, at least the technical office
2- You're asked ("forced") to work 9 - 10 hrs per day + Saturday morning and get paid 40hrs / wk. If you don't comply with that, you'll receive a letter from the HR Dept formulated in a manner that encourages you to dedicate unpaid hours to the company without facing any legal issue. In fact, you just clock in and never clock out...
3- Engineering is mainly based on copy-paste. Only the CRD (R&D Centre) comes up with sth original. Normally, Danieli is not a great innovator with respect to downstream processing
4- Daniel has lost an impressive number of talented engineers. Indeed, you'll barely find people who know what're doing - they just say it's worked so far, so keep the solution intact.
5- Since the group has huge technical offices in Thailand, Poland, Vietnam and China (some guys also in India), Italy is becoming more a "bureaucratic centre". This's my humble opinion.
6- Bosses are still living in the Stone Age. Zero creativity, nobody dares to challenge the status quo, everyone is afraid of losing the job.
7- The company's policy is: politics over merit! If you don't believe me, ask ex employees who worked for any of Danieli's technical offices
8- By and large, the tendency is to hire fresh grads / inexperienced folks to squeeze costs.
9- When you sign the contract, it's mandatory to commit to 2 years- otherwise, you'll have to pay to leave. Does it ring a bell? You can now realize why the turnover is extremely high
10- There had been cases in which someone of the HR Dept hired incompetent people based on "specific favours to be satisfied"...I let you figure out the meaning of "favours"
