Pros

Great leadership team that are engaged and accessible. Small company--big brand. Big on diversity and inclusion (US HQ/Northbrook). Not a lot of layers. Friendly and inclusive environment. Flexible work schedule (varies by department). Small-family-vibe.

Cons

Some aspects of culture driven by parent company (Italy); still very reserved and conservative in some aspects. Very flat. Less opportunity for growth unless you move laterally. Promotion for people of color tend to be slower. Behind of technology and reporting tools.

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.
