Pros

Good amount of PTO after several years of service. Cheap insurance plans.

Cons

This is a small offshoot of Leonardo, a large Italian conglomerate. Small footprint in the US, but they are trying (and failing) to compete with the big boys - Boeing, Lockheed, etc. Very chaotic and disorganized environment, incompetent management, both local and overseas. Poor to non-existent coordination between departments. Pay is significantly below market for aerospace industry. The company is discriminatory against American workers as many top and mid-level jobs go to H1B visa holders from main office in Italy. The company is also in a perpetual DEI and re-structuring modes. Archaic business practices, outdated software and hardware. Offices are filthy and overcrowded, with broken chairs and monitors. Very shady HR department, which is also astonishingly incompetent and unresponsive.

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.
