Pros

The company has some amazing product that really make an impact on the world.

Cons

Alstom's managers are disconnected from those they manage. Management consists of a high percentage of PhDs who don't understand that some of their less educated workers may know more than they do in their given area. Just leave the human out of human resources (HR), and policies fluctuate with the whims of HR & management.

Pros

No micromanagement. Great work/life balance. Self-directed work, self-monitored time away, small office, good communication with immediate colleagues......

Cons

Short-sighted leadership in US offices, friction between French/American ways of doing business, lack of customer service attitude resulting in loss of US business/clients, inappropriate displays of anger toward support staff/ customer directors/upper management by US leadership, lack of vision in restructuring efforts. Lack of support from IT and Paris leadership in general.
