Confusing, a huge let down considering what I perceive as some great products

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting company and products. There is nothing else I can say about the company.

Cons

Absolutely archaic in their approach to everything. Resistant to change or new ideas outside of the "good old boy" way of thinking and the Italian way of thinking.

Pros

Interesting work, gets you in the industry and talking to the right people. There are many people with a great deal of experience within the company.

Cons

Not much buy in from senior management. Because of the merge with Vega over the last few years the company has lost a lot of talented individuals. The projects which are running drain the resource quite hard and the rest of the company suffers because of this.

Be prepared to work on your vacation time

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

If you love working even when on vacation, always work with directions without applying your ideas then this is the place for you.

Cons

No growth opportunities, you will remain in your position until you retire or got rid of. Management will make up numbers at year end by getting rid of employees. Employees are treated as contractors (you know what happpens to them after a project is done) with no overtime pay.
