Pros

I worked in their security consultancy division, part of the Communications business. It was a decent place to cut my teeth, but wasn't without weakness. On the good side: * Wage scales are acceptable * Expenses rates are decent and daily out-of-pockets were unusually high * Car allowance was good * Scheduling was pretty good and was max. 70% utilisation

Cons

* Completely directionless, and the business owner was clueless about what we were actually there to do or how to grow * Management was completely detached from reality, and based everything in end of year numbers - nothing else

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.
