      Mediocrity and unrestrained personal ambitions rule

      Technical services engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In the initial stages of your career it is a good environment where you are exposed to different technologies and industries, can learn much about different simulation tools.

      Cons

      Especially after the 2009 layoffs there has been a top-heavy structure: many managers from a legacy organization with very little restraint imposed on their personal management styles and ambitions. A lot of work is expected from engineers and quite often not appreciated or recognized. Unreasonable requests are put on employees when office doors are closed. Many political games driven by personal ambition and personal preferences are being played. Rather than focusing on growing as a company, several managers are worried about their visibility and undermining other managers' positions. There is some sort of an intimidating atmosphere depending who your boss is so that you do not feel to express honest concerns. As a matter of fact, there is not even an HR person in the Lebanon office!

      Psychological abuse

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fine place to work if you need a visa sponsorship or internship experience

      Cons

      The company has employees write positive reviews on Glassdoor to up their scoring. I'm still dealing with psychological trauma from incidents that occurred a year ago. Executives do a great job sweeping bullying and their mistakes under the rug, and most managers in R&D don't have the skills to manage people. A teammate of mine was strategically set up for failure as a way to get pushed out of the company, which is something managers do often here, usually by getting a team / employee to work against another team / employee, or by intensionally leaving them out of important conversations and work that prevent them from doing their jobs. Another management style the company likes to practice is deception. Our R&D department is one of the worst I've worked in.
