Pros

Selex offers a relaxed working environment with the potential to work on some very interesting projects if you make the right connections. The offices are modern and the engineering labs are well equipped. The people working there are generally friendly and approachable. If you are just starting your career in engineering then Selex offers a fantastic place to develop, although you will probably want to move on once you have picked up some experience.

Cons

The pay and career progression for engineers is poor and it feels like the business is run by HR. Annual reviews feel like a formality and have no effect even though the business places great importance on them. Due to the nature of the work the IT and internet access is heavily locked down, which can often get in the way and interfere with your productivity.

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.
