Pros

Employee inter-relations is good, colleagues are very helpful and inter-department help is easy to get. Direct managers and team leads are a great resource, effective, well versed and very approachable. The directors are pleasant and effective.

Cons

The team is split working on different system sub-modules however do not interact often, fostering a silo work environment so getting a system view of the advance of the work is difficult to see. Training offered to employees is not well communicated and very scarce.

Pros

Alstom, being a multinational company, allows some flexibility in career development - moving between divisions or from country to country. This may be interesting to those who like to move often.

Cons

Relatively low salaries and benefits. Lots of micromanagement which only wastes time and achieves nothing. Slow and bureaucratic structure, even taking into account their size and geographic spread.
