Pros

Despite a history of 130+ years, locations in 50 countries, and 19,000+ employees, working for Prysmian still feels like you are in a small family owned business. In my experience I have found everybody to be very open, friendly, and encouraging. Prysmian wants you to learn and be engaged with the company, and they reward you very well for good performance. It is very apparent that Prysmian became the world's largest cable manufacturer by investing in its employees.

Cons

Due to the size of the company it can sometimes be difficult to make small systematic enhancements, however this is nothing that significantly effects the day to day operations for the employees.

Pros

Prysmian isn't a company for those who want to work the standard 40 hours per week, but it is definitely a company for those who want to face challenges, overcome obstacles and put themselves to the test. You can make your career what you want it to be, but you must be willing to work hard.

Cons

The company changes constantly and the lack of written rules and procedures can be difficult to handle until you get to know people.
