Pros

Relocation assistance, but this is only an attempt to keep employees up to 2yrs. Most sites have to hire from halfway around the world just to find someone willing to take the job.

Cons

Pay: Below Nation averages and little raises, 2% is usually what to expect. Benefits: Health insurance(Aetna) cost are outrageous. Increases about 20%/annually. Don't get sick. Schedule: Rotating shifts, night shifts. Why go to school to do manual labor at 1am? No promotions available. Basically, IBA hires degreed engineers to grease equipment, run cable, power cycle electronics, push buttons, and clean. No exposure to standard engineering tools, only mechanical tools like screw drivers. If you want to get real engineering experience IBA US is not the place.

Pros

Interesting job, ability to learn many things, flexible job schedule and projects. I love the work I do.

Cons

2% raises are the norm no matter how you perform unless you know someone, terrible management at most sites, the better you know your job the more work gets piled on you, but no increase in pay, bonuses exist, but aren't very impressive.

Pros

During install phase, delivery bonuses are very rewarding. You gain a lot of knowledge and experience.

Cons

Benefits are not at all up-to-par with other companies. You pay the majority of health insurance costs and all of the dental/vision cost. Raises are, likewise, sub-par with many employees ranking "good" only getting a 1% raise. Ambition is not valued and Belgian HR discourages Americans from applying for R&D positions. No real opportunity for growth within the company. Management works 9am to 6pm, when we're operational from 7am to 11pm (and required to do maintenance on third shift). They're critical of anything that occurs outside of their working hours.
