Pros

ALSTOM is centrally located in downtown area with free parking. The atmosphere at the company was feriendly with hard-working employees.

Cons

Due to economic downturn in the markplace, ALSTOM had to lay-off employees. Some of the employees was close to retirement and other employees was not close to retirement, which made it difficult for some. The rollcoaster ride is not good in these economic times for finnding employment and building a steady income for a family.
