Pros

Really interesting technology, lots of resources, good work life balance and good salary.

Cons

Process heavy sometimes preventing engineers getting the job done. "Sloping shoulder" attitude where colleagues dump their work on you (mainly cause most engineers are stretched). Boys club culture, a lot of unconscious bias and a few outdated attitudes. E.g. people complain about positive discrimination when their are 90% white men in technical roles is a bit bonkers. Not unusual for women to change departments due to a few misogynistic bad eggs, HR aren't active in supporting issues. Issues generally hit a ceiling and aren't resolved.

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.
