Pros

Great company with very strong values coming form the shareholders and its heritage Very strong brands and products, above all in Italy Gaining momentum outside Italy, especially in Europe Good work-life balance policies: smart working (i.e. working from home), health benefits

Cons

Still too "Italy-centric", albeit things are changing Too small to tackle big emerging markets Some "taboo" problems, i.e. "we can't do this since we tried 10 years ago and failed" Needs to grow in order to being able to attract and retains talents and to allow space for people who want to grow Needs to become more digital oriented

Pros

Great flexibility and work life balance. Great people and business.

Cons

Not much room for career advancement. A lot of decisions are made by the headquarters in Italy and don't always make sense for the US.

Pros

Free pasta, knowledgeable coworkers who go above and beyond to help train new people.

Cons

Supervisors who don't manage their employees appropriately or fairly. In order to keep your job best to keep your head down. Don't ever give anyone any reason to single you out or your days are numbered even if your a skilled competent technician. There is Noone who will save you from being discarded.
