    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Bombardier Transportation value the work/life balance and opportunities to learn by working on trains and trams with new systems and techniques. They appreciate having supportive colleagues that create a good team environment. Some also felt management support, especially for family matters, is excellent.

    However, there are potential challenges such as issues with management lacking communication, direction and authentic leadership. The outdated processes and IT systems can make work inefficient. There are also constraints on resources and capacity to deliver objectives effectively. Additionally, a few employees noted pay could be higher, particularly for casual workers doing the same job as permanent staff.

    an uphill battle with a steep learning curve but well worth it as I do finish each day feeling like I have made a difference and earned my salary.
    The good thingsManagement Support is absolutely excellent and the support for Family Issues is second to none. Each day brings its own different challenges but thats what makes the role exciting as you dont feel like your stuck in a rut doing the same thing day after day. Great team of people to work with overall and very friendly from Executive Management down to the workshop floor.
    The challengesFar too many clashing Processes, Procedures and numerous IT Systems which are all archaic and cumbersome which makes it quite frustrating. Not well integrated and difficult to get the hang of what needs to be done etc is a real learning curve - all makes getting things done that much harder and time consuming than it needs to be, and no doubt far more costly as a result.
