Highly recommended for people to join GEA to get good pay. Just get into good books and you can last long..

Project engineer

Pros

The management will recognize your capability is your are a good worker, just overload you with more projects/work, while the poor performance staffs (include project managers & engineers, etc) doing minimum output getting high pay. Strongly recommended for people to join for the salary. Pay is considered above market. Based on current situation, the company is willing to pay high price for a 3rd grade result, which means you can be paid €1 for every €0.01 worth of effort. Highly recommended for smart people. Get more for less. Thumbs up!

Cons

Seeing the company direction, GEA is becoming HR engineering EPC firm. One may think they are going to do projects using HR executives in future. The ratio of HR to employees is high as compared with other companies. People with long working experience can reply that they do not know when questioned their expertise skill, just want to spoon-fed.

Pros

Great company and group and the Milton Keynes team were a great bunch to work with.

Cons

The 'worldwide restructure' knocked the motivation out of so many staff it was unbelievable, you went from a member of staff to a number in a box.

GEA Group Response

Thank you for your feedback. The restructuring is indeed having impact on our organization, but should not make us numbers. Our employees are valued very much and we want them to feel like this to. Feel free to connect with me to share your ideas. Stefan Broens
