GEA Group reviews

Top heavy management that keeps getting shuffled around. Outside of Germany there is no longer much room to advance and it frequently feels as though non-Germans are treated as second class citizens. While they do promote from within, this is done almost exclusively by nomination which limits both the possible qualified candidates and means that those looking to expand into different roles are unable to do so.

Decided to consolidate, spent time/money to evaluate their employees, yet none of that was even considered when deciding who to let go. Appeared more of a front to the shareholders and employees and they really just removed people that were too old and/or had a high salary. The morale of the company was the worst I've ever been part of. I've heard and confirmed they took health care away from one location. Management plays favorites, there's no room or plan for growth, and no one is held accountable for their work. There is minimal/no HR/Finance/IT departments locally - everything is now outsourced. The CEO from Germany visited my location once, and did anything and everything to not be seen by the employees. Was escorted in and out for a meeting. Couldn't even say hello to the people that work for him.
