Vantaggi
Getting a certain exposure to some multinational customers, on large projects was interesting, but it is clear, that they rely on a small customer base who account for the majority of revenue. When the loyalty of these cutomers receeds they will fail and end up in liquidation, with the Irish operation the first to be removed.
Svantaggi
Actual quality of the final systems is atrocious, but expected when using suppliers from China and the systems are manufactured in Springfield MO, with workers who have no appreciation of hygienic sytems for Biologic drugs. Salary is awful. Travel policy is terrible. Force you to sign "per diem" expense letters, for foreign projects, so you can't claim your full entitlements if your allowance is exceeded. No cars offered on company travel locally or abroad. Working hours break the break, the Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997 in particlular section 15 & 17. Yearly Salaryies increase based on a rating system of months worked, approximately 2%, not the individuals performance. No increase in salaries when promoted to lead roles. Will lie in intial interviews to bring you on board. Middle and upper management, are absolutely terrible cowards, with no back bone. Work in fear with governance remotely from the US. All decisions are filtered through the US. Overtime rate is 4%. No flexitime. No days in lieu. No continual professionl development or training offered.
