Pros

Close to home and nice new office building

Cons

All management is foreign and under-qualified. Human Resources is not trained or familiar with US culture or US business protocol. As a result , the current restructuring is being poorly executed and all the good employees are leaving the company. Unfortunately, your future career opportunities will depend on your age and ethnicity .

Pros

In the design centers, this company has great opportunities for new products and everyone gets to work on them. Provided the mining industry is doing well. It's a very safety conscious company that is trying to overthrow legacy overdesigned equipment with newer and at the same time, cost-effective solutions.

Cons

Company's IT department is terrible for design centers. Extremely ineffective use of expensive systems, portals and software.
