Pros

Very big, prestigious organization that has built a great brand that services many industries. This gives you the opportunity to pursue career paths that participate in a large variety of applications; i.e. aerospace, defense, wireless communications, data and power transmission, etc. etc. etc. Management is very accessible and open to discuss anything from career path recommendations to last weekend's USC game. Makes for a pretty open environment. The company is working hard to become a more progressive organization, implementing a lot of new programs and benefits to make the overall working environment more enjoyable. The people are great. There are a lot of weekend sports organized and also some happy hours from time-to-time. It's nice to work with people you like. Compensation and benefits are in-line with what you would expect from a large company like this.

Cons

It is a lean organization which can make things challenging at times. Also, because of this we sometimes fail to train people as well as we should. Communication across the organization could always be better. But I guess this is something that all large companies deal with. We have a ton of experience in management (good thing) but we need to find new ways of transferring that knowledge to the younger employees who will be the future leaders of the organization.

Thank you for your review of Prysmian Group and your time with our company. I feel the same way about our team as you do: it’s full of friendly, hard-working, results-driven individuals. “Integrity” is one our organization’s core values, and we take pride in building teams that reflect this and support our mission. I appreciate your feedback on the challenges of running a lean organization. Efficiency is one of the driving factors that helps us deliver to customers, but we never want that to come at the cost of a manageable work/life balance. We are continually evolving our policies to ensure that our team is happy and healthy, so your words are a great reminder to remain focused in this area. Thank you for your comments, and I will make sure that all your feedback is communicated to the leadership team.

The ability to expose our team to global ideas and markets keeps us both competitive and progressive, which I hope has been your experience within the Graduate Program.
