      Pros

      I have worked for GEA more than 10 years. - Good working environment - Freedom for making decisions & take responsibility with it. That's huge advantage if you are keen to improve yourself. (to me, this is also career opportunities)

      Cons

      - It merges so many different companies together. That's a huge challenge for top management for standardization working process. (they are doing with OneGEA now, but to me, it's not achieved the goals) - OnceGEA, one of its idea was to break working silos mindset, but and then it created many more Silos now. Therefore, lot of (avoidable) obstructions for delivering projects/works.
