Pros

Top Management empowered me with all the authorizations and trust to accomplish my tasks effectively. Communication between my supervisor and I are 100% open and constuctive. Benefits are the best I've ever experienced!

Cons

In the process of down-sizing the staff and functions. There have been a lot of changes and processes changes over the past few years to improve the company significantly (mainly in the areas being dissolved). If the areas are ever operational again, the processes and functions will have to be re-engaged and start over.

Challenging, rewarding, and a ton of opportunity but you need to work for it.

Pros

Exceptional products and the company really does care about it's employees. I've read some of the other reviews and it seems like some folks have an ax to grind or are more worried about time off than working. Benefits are crazy good and cheap, management is engaged and getting better. The international aspect is difficult at times but extremely interesting. Working with other cultures is a great opportunity.

Cons

The company has changed a lot over the last few years, for the better. There are still some real challenges to deal with being part of such a large organization (Finmeccanica). Sometimes the pressure from the parent company is frustrating but positve changes are definately being made but none seem to be easy. Again, if you're not afraid to work you can easily be part of the solution.
