Pros: Working here as a Project Engineer, I've really appreciated the consistent support from leadership. They genuinely encourage learning and innovation, especially in developing new access control and perimeter security solutions. It's a stable company within the manufacturing and automation industry, part of the FAAC Group, offering interesting technical challenges and a strong sense of teamwork. I've learned a lot about advanced barrier systems.
Cons: While management is supportive, communication flow between departments can sometimes be a bit slow, impacting project timelines in our fast-paced automation sector. Some internal approval processes feel a little bureaucratic, which can occasionally delay getting new perimeter security projects off the ground. More streamlined internal communication would boost overall efficiency.
Advice to Management: Continue focusing on transparent cross-departmental communication and look for ways to streamline internal project approval workflows to keep pace with innovation in the automation and security systems market.
