Pros

Job security, benefits in terms of healthcare and holiday leave, informal work environment and the opportunity to work internationally. The location was great, Florence Italy.

Cons

The cons related to working at Selex Comms are very much the same of most (if not all) government owned companies. This means difficulties to adapting to change, very limited career growth opportunities for "normal" employees - note that there is no job description, no annual review and no direct link between performance and growth opportunity. This can curb anyone's enthusiasm.

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.
