Pros

During install phase, delivery bonuses are very rewarding. You gain a lot of knowledge and experience.

Cons

Benefits are not at all up-to-par with other companies. You pay the majority of health insurance costs and all of the dental/vision cost. Raises are, likewise, sub-par with many employees ranking "good" only getting a 1% raise. Ambition is not valued and Belgian HR discourages Americans from applying for R&D positions. No real opportunity for growth within the company. Management works 9am to 6pm, when we're operational from 7am to 11pm (and required to do maintenance on third shift). They're critical of anything that occurs outside of their working hours.

Be very careful with any deal you make

Pros

Work was varied; technical workers had a great deal of opportunity to branch out; opportunity to travel and to work with people from fourteen different countries; interesting technology; products that could make a major difference in people's lives.

Cons

Difficult people could be found on every level, but management was unusually concerned about protecting themselves from their employees. As a results, any employee or potential employee must work extra hard to protect themselves from management. Thus, everything turned into a negotiation, and often settled agreements were still not honored. This is why the title of my review is "Be careful..." Anyone doing business with the company should always give thought to their "BATNA" (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement.) The company is also poorly organized, with many communication problems, and is still managed by the same key people who ran it as a startup.
