Pros

high salary for a small town

Cons

Worked for Alstom IBRE (around 40 employees in total) in a team of 5, including a sales director, a project manager, a senior engineer, a mechanical engineer contractor and me (mechanical calculation engineer). Really bad management, constantly changing expectations, self-contradictory orders, cheap manipulation tactics. Lack of technical expertise, innovation and resources (at least in terms of mechanical simulation and physics). They cared too much about money and pushed for results at all costs, disregarding technical aspects while holding blindly to their false beliefs dispite evidence. Lack of accountability. When my project went south, they dumped everything on me, not even thinking for a moment that it was them who had started the project and always wanted to control every single detail of it. An amazing feat of cowardice. Toxic workplace overall. Good to make money short-term then never go back.
