Great industry and opportunities for learning and growth - Recensione dipendente - Mechanical Engineer presso Stadler Rail

There is opportunity right and left. Management is accessible and has a solid, long-term vision. Benefits are competitive and the company culture is lively. There are talented people from all over the world working here. Mentorship is encouraged and the company invests in its people. It is easy to become excited about the product.

The work has one pace and it is FAST. Standards are high and goals are ambitious, so there is often no slack when deadlines approach which can be stressful. Missing targets so often is demoralizing. Information flow between departments needs improvement. Some do the job of 2-3 people and are overworked. The high expectations can put a strain on your work-life balance.

It's a cool product to build

They grossly under pay. Constantly change benefits to the advantage of the company not the employee. Management micromanages employees. Very "prison" like atmosphere. Company as a whole is very reactionary, with no foresight or ability to plan ahead. Burden of profit is consistently placed on the production floor, solutions that are near impossible are pushed onto production and the expectations are VASTLY different from "floor" to the "offices" this breeds a sense and feeling of inequaltiy. Every department feels like a silo and acts accordingly.
