GEA Group Response

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. Employee relationships are important to us. We are trying to have more social events to get employees moving around and communicating with other people in the building and in other locations. Also, sorry that you did not feel the lunch breaks were fair, however that is standard in the industry. Thank you again for the feedback, we appreciate it and best of luck in your future endeavors.
