Pros

As a technician you have the oppurtunity to be in the Machinist Union so that is a plus. Thought the machinist Union you have a great retirment.

Cons

Management hired from out side with out climbing up the ladder which results in people in management postions that can talk the talk but cant walk the walk

A truly international company

Pros

Overall, Alstom has been growing over the last 7 years, through both internal and external growth. This creates opportunities for good performers, and people ready to relocate internationally. This is an extremely international company: main HQ is in Paris, but Power HQ in Switzerland. Overall, many divisions enjoy an almost complete autonomy, and more and more power is transferred to the regions.

Cons

HR Community and support is not at the level of what you would find in GE or Siemens. Due to the growth of the last years, the company has lost a bit of its "project culture" and is sometimes too administrative, and too process oriented. Senior management has launched a new program ("ease") to reverse the trend.
