Pros

There are good people in the company

Cons

Poor pay, not being valued, lack of management drive for rewarding employees even when based on proven years of good performance. Currently doing a higher level role on previous roles pay (not changed in 3 years even now doing a promoted job role for +12 months) - constant pushback for salary alignment to current role with no reason or evidence given, Italian management are a big issue and treat UK poorly with no respect

Pros

There is not one pro I can think of.

Cons

The culture is extremely toxic and divisive. There is a clear preference shown toward Italian employees over U.S. employees, which creates an unfair and frustrating work environment. Communication is often unprofessional, with frequent yelling, finger-pointing, and disrespectful comments. Management has failed to establish clear roles and responsibilities, leading to constant confusion and conflict between employees. Engineering leadership appears heavily driven by favoritism and routinely treats employees with a lack of professionalism and respect.
