Pros

Great experience in learning how to apply policy, procedure, SOP etc. Learning how to work with a customer and how to compromise to resolve challenges. Great working with personnel who actual care about there job and coming together to resolve challenges.

Cons

Horrible organizational structure, procurement especially, all orders go through one person is ridiculous. Upper management decision are made without gathering information from those employees who directly impact that area. The level of brown-nosing was disgusting and the site director loved it as he was very incapable of fulfilling his role. Bombardier Transportation biggest issues are promoting employees based on brown-nosing vs talent and work ethics.

Pros

Very clean facility. A lot of great people there is a lot of opportunity for improvement, but will never happen until after they get out from underneath the leadership team in Spain.

Cons

Can't retain good talent continue to lose people and never backfill and the remaining folks get more work dumped on them without ever any financial incentive Horribly managed from the top down More worried about invoicing to make financial goals than doing what is right zero sense of urgency from procurement to support production communication is atrocious from the top down Too many layers of management the employee engagement survey is a bunch of bs... morale is at an all time low

Pros

People there are definitely serious about work-life balance. You do your 40 hours a week and get out. It doesn't take much effort or skills to be of use there.

Cons

Not a whole lot in terms of learning new skills or progressing your career though unless you jump around. It's definitely a stereotypical corporate manufacturing environment. Crappy cafeteria, mediocre pay, lots of old-timers who claw on to any form of job security. People aren't willing to try new ideas or move into the 21st century. I've seen both hiring sprees and rounds of layoffs within 2-3 years. It's not a place where hard-working talented individuals last very long.
