Pros

The company is in its growth phase and hence the focus of Alstom is shifting its base from France to countries like India (where the forthcoming business opportunities for the company is relatively large scale). Its always good to grow with a growing company. Alstom offers an open culture, you are encouraged to be creative (but some times may feel questioned - but trust me... they question you only to be fully satisfied). I also developed a sense of ownership!

Cons

Not so good Work-Life balance since the company is in the growth mode. Again this factor depends on your role...

Pros

No micromanagement. Great work/life balance. Self-directed work, self-monitored time away, small office, good communication with immediate colleagues......

Cons

Short-sighted leadership in US offices, friction between French/American ways of doing business, lack of customer service attitude resulting in loss of US business/clients, inappropriate displays of anger toward support staff/ customer directors/upper management by US leadership, lack of vision in restructuring efforts. Lack of support from IT and Paris leadership in general.
