little challenge
If you want to learn more and make a difference with your employer, you should avoid Ansaldo.

No career perspectives
For the Swiss business unit: No training plans, no opportunities for promotion or salary raise. Incompetent managers staying in position because of good networking/ personal relations. Bad work climate, partly due to bad sales and partly due to pathologies inherited from Alstom times. Recent lay-offs of 24 R&D employees, but no manager. Many people voluntarily leave the company, too many to ignore. Mainly micromanagement performed by upper management. Mother company: It does not operate according to private sector standards, as it is owned by Italian state and Chinese power company. Very slow and ineffective in decision-making.

Ansaldo Field service can only get better
Ansaldo field service can only get better after reaching new lows when most of the employees left.

Long-term employees are leaving the company
This works well in the company
Good rail connection. Flexible working hours. Good interaction between employees.
This could be improved
The management lacks vision for the future of the company especially in regards of future product portfolio. To strong focused on service business. Long-term employees are leaving the company thus also a lot of knowledge. Implement training plans and promotion or salary raise and a clear vision for the future in order to improve the work climate and cross the fingers for better market conditions.

Laid back and well paid bit no future
Pros The starting salary for young employees is high The company culture is very relaxed and laid back. Plenty of time for work-life balance. Cons The management lacks visions for the future of the company. The company is downsizing and the outlook for the whole thermal power industry is dark. Some employees abuse the relaxed company culture.

Strong influence of bad market and management
This works well in the company
connection among the employees. Good transport connections by train. Some interesting works when you can finish them.
This could be improved
Further training of employees. Management's dealings with employees. Management decisions go once in one direction and then suddenly in another direction. Communicates honestly with employees. There is no clear picture for the future of the company. Only service business or new product developments are to be made in the future. This uncertainty affects the mood of the employees.

Don't go, unless you are desperate
This works well in the company
Relaxed pace. No tight deadlines. You feel like a public employee. Small benefits, e.g. Reka checks, Lunch card. Good air of communication among employees (with some exceptions).
This could be improved
Ineffective, old-school management, following same recipe that flushed Alstom down the drain. No career opportunities, no promotions, no salary raises. 89 people left in the last year, this trend says everything. No sales of new units. Marginally managing to meet running costs, based on small service contracts. Low to none integration with headquarters. Terrible IT infrastructure. No training. Middle and top management needs to be replaced ASAP. No strategy, no vision, incapable of conveying a positive spirit, incapable of taking measures required to improve business performance. Company focuses now on creating contractor hubs around the world, rather than keeping valuable employees in headquarters. This leads to lack of commitment and loss of know-how.
