      Great people, but a step change is required

      Pros

      Life/work equilibrium is very good, care for the employee as a person, freedom to change in case you don't like your job, first line management is good (at least in France). Workplace is nice.

      Cons

      No meritocracy, technical skills completely underrated, huge management overhead, too much politics. Lot of bureaucracy, ICT is completely disappointing. Career evolution is low and flat amongst all the employees.

      All you need to brings value to the business (i.e. Airbus, Cassidian, Astrium, Eurocopter)

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of opportunities are provided to research engineers and corporate roles such as governance and management, process methods and tools development. Resources are available to explore lots of different technologies. You can work and collaborate more easily with all EADS business units and beyond corporate boundaries.

      Cons

      Don't forget to get back to business units once being in corporate projects. Restructuring of business units affects the projects of corporate, but this is normal for any organization!

      A Real Disappointment

      Pros

      Great business, helping people. Not much else to say, can't even meet 20 word minimum, so I am rambling.

      Cons

      Dishonest Management, tells you one thing then does the opposite. Company ran to current quarters numbers, not meeting numbers, expect layoffs to follow, very narrow sighted. No loyalty to employees, expect to be thrown under the bus for managements' mistakes. Benefits are not good. Expect long hours no reward or recognition. Products have grown long in the tooth and are falling behind, and don't expect upgrades to happen quickly with cutbacks in R&D. I expect anyone going to consider working for this company are desperate. Any positive reviews on this company are from HR. Would rate this company a quarter star if glassdoor allowed.
