Vantaggi
When they have a good year the bonuses are good. They try to offer activities for the employees and get them engaged. Once in a while somebody sees the light and actually does something that is beneficial to the employees.
Svantaggi
A large company with a 1960's management attitude. Methodology of the month (TQM,Six Sigma, Kaizen,...) Put a lot of stock in nebulous cost savings realized by Methodology of the month. New ideas are talked about and get no farther - nobody wants to think outside the box and take the challenge of putting things into practice, cause, hey - that might be taking a risk. Go with flow - what gets done is based on who says what, not on whether it has any technical merit or not. People are a commodity - when the business is good hire people left and right; economy is going south - fire at will! No job security unless your buddies are in upper management.
