Work hard, learn a lot, travel and make diverse friends

Lead engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

A very diverse environment where knowledge sharing is valued and respected. It is good that the company is not afraid of trying something different from our competitors.

Cons

Very heavy administrative processes and procedure. The company is getting too much focused on supply chain and other support structures. Support is unfortunalety slowing down progress for no real added value, extra checks within product development or during job planning have been implemented but not supervised by competent personnel.
