Advice to Senior Management

I was only a co-op, but my mentor and management in the department I worked with were fantastic.

Pros

Itron are Industry leaders and the best in their field. The smart metering industry is booming at the moment with Itron being at the forefront.

Cons

Location is not very central for business and hence there are not many other suitable job opportunities available in the area.

Pros

Expanding industry, new technologies, international experience, global leader in its area.

Cons

Lack of coaching, excess of rework, HR department needs improvement.

Advice to Senior Management

Improve HR department, training & benefits package.

Pros

The people here are very approachable, helpful, and competent. There is a lot of room for advancement, both upwards and sideways into other fields. The compensation and benefits package is on par with most other companies, and there are plenty of little perks to make it even better. There is plenty of work to be done, and a good mix of challenging problems to solve.

Cons

The investment community doesn't seem to understand the costs of making a good product. Itron doesn't outsource our R&D and production, which results in a fantastic product that happens to cost a bit more. Investors see this traditionally good way of doing business as a negative thing, which hurts the stock prices. They love us when things are good, but hate us when the least thing goes wrong. Decreasing stock prices result in losing good people and business, as well as stock option benefits. It's a great place to work, but it's sad to see such positive efforts going unnoticed by the rest of the world!

Pros

Colleagues are pleasant. They pull together and can be supportive

Cons

A very political place to work. Very demanding.

reduce the number of management team.

Pros

The tasks are intellectually stimulating. Management assigns projects and deadlines, and it is up to the individual to complete the task. There is very little oversight, unless poor performance dictates it.
