Pros

- international company - not bad if you are in management

Cons

- Salary below average for majority of regular employees, management is overpaid - Discrimination towards employees, yearly >10% lay-offs in RNAM to bust profit (bonus for management). New employees are imported from low cost countries and positions are moved to Plano, USA. - Very hard to change group and to advance if you are not part of the “club” - Unethical and incompetent management - Employees are forced to work long hours, to travel during weekends and to work for weeks on the customer’s sites without any compensation – customer is charged for all work. Per Diem is minimal and after 4 weeks cut down for additional 30%. - HR is non-existing as organization and they are one of the leaders in changes to implement pyramid (low cost employees on the bottom and reach management on the top). This strategy was presented several times to all employees. .. list can go on (I worked for over 10 years for this company) and this review is for the region North America organization and their management
