Pros

Really great and talented people who really care about customers and the electrical industry.

Cons

Horrible culture, no opinions or views from US workers matter, only what the bosses in Europe think matter. Even the leaders in Europe don’t want to challenge the top leaders in Europe. Only way yo succeed is to agree with everything Europe says. Poor gender diversity in leadership, mostly a grey hair white guy company.
