Horrifying experience!

Pros

none - there is nothing good to say about this company

Cons

everything - hostile environment, inhumanly bad, malicious people. They torture physically and mentally and they can ruin your life. Better stay unemployed, than work among such bad, mean and rude people. If they don't like you, they make up any senseless reason to fire you. You have to be bad, incapable, unprofessional and lazy like them. Every second of my working day in Agusta was like a horror movie.

Badly organised, don't pay attention to their employees' concerns.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay and benefits, very promising projects and roles with opportunities all over the place, especially in engineering roles.

Cons

Lassiez-faire attitude seems to trickle down from key management positions. There are good managers but they either don't have the clout or are too busy due to overwork to counteract this. Development of staff takes a back seat due to management chasing fires caused by chronic understaffing.
