      So much potential wasted

      Marketing specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Terrific products Huge market share (tho this is changing due to mismanagement and uncertainty after acquisition) SOME very intelligent employees

      Cons

      Foreign owners have no knowledge of US market Old boy network in place - if you were here in the family-owned days you get preferential treatment Male-oriented industry can be frustrating Difficulty integrating acquisition companies into the main entity The P25 radio employees are jerks and often get preferential treatment Management has quarterly all-hands meetings that are too long and of little interest to most employees Management pays no attention to the results of employee surveys

      "Laid Off" for taking parental leave

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Other employees friendly and good to work with, decent work environment.

      Cons

      Every employee has a different job title so they can easily justify getting rid of whoever they need to, based on "we don't need any more of job title 'X'. No loyalty to employees Despite claiming to be very family friendly, taking parental leave will result in you being 'laid off.'

      Interesting aerospace industry and work, great work life balance, slow pace of work in frustrating environment

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Really interesting industry and some of the most interesting engineering projects available. Work consists of Telecommunication satellites, Science missions, ground systems and launchers. Lots of opportunity to work in any imaginable area of a large multinational engineering company, Great work life balance due to flexitime and paid overtime. Good starting place to get a foot hold in the aerospace industry and/or other EADS positions and proactive people tend to do well.

      Cons

      Little pressure to deliver can make work very slow. Huge level of process, inadequate environment and IT infrastructure and flat management structure can make work life very frustrating. Large multinational company results in slow change and a tendency to do things they way they have always been done. Change is not encouraged. Due to flat structure, its very difficult to get promotions in management. Little encouragement or pressure to build skills and continue to develop. If you are looking to be under pressure, constantly challenged, want quick promotion and high pay prospects then look else where
