Pros

The company is highly profitable and people are committed to make it win. Products are love brands with an obsession for quality.

Cons

Italian senior managament isn't up to the challenge of working in an international enviroment. There's lack of transparency and HRs work more a hidden power outlet without being accountable and abiding to any written policy. Moreover, the organization is very piramidal: without a senior status you don't get anywhere. Micromanagement isn't not only tolerated but fostered by senior management. Few managers are rewarded for empowering and developing their staff.

Pros

Great products. Good holiday schedule. Pretty good work-life balance. Base compensation and bonus pretty good. Stability (little to no layoffs)

Cons

Bad management. No perks whatsoever beyond base and bonus - no profit sharing, not even matching charitable contributions. 401(k) company match is low. Favoritism, unequal workload and resource distribution, and major accountability issues. Transparency issues.
