Pros
This has been a great place to work. Compensation is low comparatively, but acceptable after working there few years, though entry salary has been recently improved. Location is fabulous.
Cons
Leadership for Digital Solutions (HQ for group of companies that include Bently Nevada) has seen a major transformation. Leader is now from an International background - (which can be great, given that our customers are not all US based.) There seems to be a major disconnect and clash of cultures however. Most obvious change is that all of a sudden most leaders of US teams are from the same region as the leader of DS!!! Why is that a problem? -Diversity is great, however these leaders don't understand the culture and way of life for the people they manage (US Culture), as it's vastly different from Venezuela, Palestine, Mumbai, UAE... .. and other locations where these leaders are coming from - drastic differences in mannerism, interpersonal skills, job expectations... all are driving employees to seek jobs elsewhere. -Costs of brining in these leaders into the US (Legal costs, relocation costs, training,....) is on the order of tens of thousands of dollars. As they're mostly "Executives", services provided for relocation is very expensive. Is that truly needed and in the best interest of Bently Nevada / Baker Hughes, investors and financial bottom line? not sure. -After being in business, successfully for 60 years plus, all of a sudden we can't find managers from within the US and have to import all high level managers? Odd right? yet to be seen if there is a positive impact -Though there is absolutely no evidence of it, but the "appearance" of nepotism is just not culturally inline with the Bently's history - all employees are questioning the leadership decisions in this regard, by the way
