Pros

Pay was livable--OK. I did get a bonus for the year's work. Vacation was average.

Cons

Some managers are good, others are incompetent. Some employees are bright, others are incompetent, but they stay because they have PhDs. The software and products are not managed properly; with a hodpodge of legacy Windows GUI technologies (everything) trying to interoperate with newer stuff, which just doesn't work. I could never figure out why software security wasn't a bigger concern, given the environment of global terrorism. Did not provide resources to get the job done.

Business Outlook

Pros

Alstom, being a multinational company, allows some flexibility in career development - moving between divisions or from country to country. This may be interesting to those who like to move often.

Cons

Relatively low salaries and benefits. Lots of micromanagement which only wastes time and achieves nothing. Slow and bureaucratic structure, even taking into account their size and geographic spread.

It is a non-sense company with absolutely no vision for growth.

Pros

No Pros in this company.

Cons

They recruits candidates with generic skills(C,C++ etc) and later they will ask them to work on documentation, testing etc. They don't have a defined requirement before recruiting the candidates. They have head count targets. so they recruit every candidate who comes for interview and later when they don't get any projects they will harass the employees. No wise people in Middle level and top level management .
