Pros

The work can be interesting if you work in transportation and no tolling and other areas. Some good people there to work with. Pay is in line with other competitors and that space They are very broad and the transportation space so you can learn different areas but there will be no training

Cons

Pretty scatterbrained upper management It's a conglomeration of buyouts of other companies that aren't connected to each other and are often doing redundant work. Lots of fire snapping in last minute work Not much work, life balance and lots of emergency meetings Don't see many people get promoted. Most people just leave or they have layoffs because they don't know how to make a profit at the company to begin with. Employee turnover is pretty high. Most stick around a few years and that's it. That includes upper and lower management and it's really bad with project team and workers

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.
