Business Outlook

Pros

* Ability to work a flexible schedule * Opportunities to work from home * Good people to work with. Most are willing to help when you ask.

Cons

* Poor communication from leadership. The intranet provides some company information, but there is no direct flow of information (how is company doing, what is business forecast, what are future goals/plans) from direct managers or above. * Project planning & management seems weak. * There seem to be a lot of documented processes, but either they are weak or not well followed so there is some lack of clarity regarding the what & how of the work you are doing.

Pros

Exposure to International Projects, Package was good

Cons

Most of the employees are 25 years of experience with the company (it should be really beneficial for the employees but not)- they think they are super smart, and criticize your work, talk back, sheer politics, no respect. I'll just say one thing we all are humans, before 25 years you would have started the same way

Business Outlook

Pros

very friendly people who are supportive and tend to be a give give culture. several opportunities abroad in particularly in japan, but more on a business trip bases than a permanent one rapidly growing company in the rail industry

Cons

come in with a good salary negotiated because it will be hard to renegotiate once in. many new recruits means that structure is unclear
