Pros

- international company - not bad if you are in management

Cons

- Salary below average for majority of regular employees, management is overpaid - Discrimination towards employees, yearly >10% lay-offs in RNAM to bust profit (bonus for management). New employees are imported from low cost countries and positions are moved to Plano, USA. - Very hard to change group and to advance if you are not part of the “club” - Unethical and incompetent management - Employees are forced to work long hours, to travel during weekends and to work for weeks on the customer’s sites without any compensation – customer is charged for all work. Per Diem is minimal and after 4 weeks cut down for additional 30%. - HR is non-existing as organization and they are one of the leaders in changes to implement pyramid (low cost employees on the bottom and reach management on the top). This strategy was presented several times to all employees. .. list can go on (I worked for over 10 years for this company) and this review is for the region North America organization and their management

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
