Pros

I enjoyed my experiences and learned a tremendous amount about the business and process. There are some truly bright and upcoming leaders in this company, and I enjoyed learning with and from them.

Cons

Management style can be micro-management like at times, especially when production issues directly affecting KPI are encountered. I understand the need for this to a point, however, the method was obviously flawed as it backfired more often than not and became counter intuitive to team goals (lower moral, no true resolution to issues due to lack of support/resources, etc). Also, the company is VERY lean, to a point where it is more detrimental to the process and employees than helpful. There is no Project Engineer, Safety Engineer, Industrial Engineer, etc at the particular site I worked. Other "engineering" positions are expected to make up for this without the proper resources or knowledge to be successful in these areas. Operator moral is also extremely low, leading to very high turnover rates. This, combined with lack of proper training, leads to higher scrap and more quality issues.

Largest wire and cable producer in the globe

Pros

The company has a history in taking a long term view related to employment. If you perform to the established KPI's, the company provides global growth opportunities that many employers can't provide. Leadership provides a strategic approach to Prysmian's medium to long term growth and success as we maintain the status of the "largest wire and cable producer" in the world!

Cons

The company is very lean and resources are hard to come by. The expectations are high and you must do more with less, which makes the work/life balance more challenging.
