Business Outlook

Pros

Decent Pay and Benefits for job level

Cons

Poor Management that is more concerned with their position than with moving the company forward. Only the French employees have an real staying power. Since there are no laws that protect American employees they are disposable. Extremely high turnover rate. No team integrity and no structure for engineering (even so far as to following the principles of Agile). Engineering is a nightmare. No Configuration or Data control or management. The lights are kept in by the old IFEC system programs. They are unable to keep a customer or contract for more than a year. They speak of "Digital Transformation" but are completely unwilling to change the way they do business to adapt to the market. Definitely stay away if you are an engineer over the age of 30. Bad place for intermediate/senior level engineers of all disciplines

Pros

Good pay and benefits, tools are procedures are good

Cons

Just completely non-sense Management, these people are on a rotation basis and they have no real business understanding. They literally believe cost cutting is the answer to ANY problem. It was actually quite amusing watching the leadership make decisions.

Pros

Great Pay but raises and incentives are limited and Decent Benefits

Cons

1. Ex-Pats on rotation have no vested interested in the actual work which is detrimental to the US employees are left to deal with their messes. 2. Closed minded thinking let's always reinvent the wheel. 3. 5 work force reduction Layoffs in 2.5yrs! 4. Alot of money wasted on ego lead developments and making simple solutions overly complicated
