Pros

Large steel manufacturing enterprise with a global reach. Many projects on the go, keeps you busy and lots of training available to learn. Depending on your area of expertise you can develop your career and move within the company even if it includes relocation to another country. Some great Co - workers, people very much focused on doing their job and growing thr company.

Cons

Hiring and promotion is based on time served within the corporation rather than area of expertise. As a result confusion reins because you have people who are good people placed in the wrong position and leading with wrong mentality. North American IT is being run mostly by non - IT folk who have no clue how to run an IT enterprise and are therefore focused on numbers than developing people and technology. A bully mentality is the order of the day. Work to life balance though touted everywhere within the company is a complete galaxy.

Pros

- Obsessive search of profits obviously PREJUDICE the employees...

Cons

That is a very confuse company... Each boss has its own sets of rules to be followed by the employees. What can be beneficial to some colleagues from other areas can be completely different for another employees. There is not a general set of rules, each boss acts according to his/her wishes, what is very disappointing. Company tends to not attend the brazilian work law because the profitis is the ultimate objective. People does not matter. Only the profits matters.
