Pros
They do have a “Stadler Holiday” that is the week between Christmas and New Years. Trains are certainly interesting to to work on.
Cons
Man, where to start. I’m not even that bitter, just bummed. I really wanted to make a career out of Stadler. I can only speak for Stadler US, but basically the biggest thing is Stadler employees are viewed as disposable. Salary is very low, promises of raising salary when benchmarks are reached will be made… but never actually fulfilled. Needed tools and resources will be promised but never delivered. All salaried employees are required to clock in and out, there is a big lack of trust. Working from home is absolutely not an option, again, big lack of trust. Your manager may be awesome, mine was, but in Stadlers structure they have very little power. Again, lack of trust. If you have issues and concerns you can bring it up with your manager but there are so many levels to go through before change is possible that issues are rarely resolved or even really heard. I wish Stadler US the best but unfortunately can not recommend working here.
