Business Outlook

Pros

Nice professional environment with lots of exposure to projects and engineering. Work Life balance is not that bad, good incentives package. As a corporation, it has the possibility to jump from one to the other on your career path.

Cons

A lot of bureaucracy all around. Sometimes I feel this is a very old company trying to get into a modern day business environment. There's no a real structure to manage resources abroad and this leads to make you feel lonely and without support from upper management.
