Place is in absolute rotten state

Pros

None other previous products for company to generate passive income

Cons

It's not a serious aerospace company as engineers are pressured to pass non complaint designs and concessions. It could cause catastrophic aircraft failure in future. Managers have little to no technical knowledge who have been incharge of making decisions. Bullying of employees, micro-management. If you find another job even with lower salary, my advice is to take that rather come to this rotten place.

Pros

4x10, Location, Company Expansion - Every 3-5 years there is an acquisition adding to the portfolio. People want to do a good job despite the obstacles placed in their way by Corporate.

Cons

Pay is abysmally below the average in Aerospace Industry despite what HR convinces themselves of. The acquisitions are a mess. Corporate Leadership places unrealistic expectations on the local team while providing no additional resources to accomplish within a ridiculous timeframe. The building is ancient and held together with band-aid. The Network Infrastructure is the worst I've ever experienced in my career. Internet goes down routinely. AOL dial up was better. Corporate France mandates initiatives that add additional burdens to the Managers and Supervisors who are actually trying to keep the business afloat. There are foreign DEI hires that despite displaying a lack of competence, remain in leadership roles (OE Ops Mgr). This location's ONLY saving grace is Lisa Garwood the Asst Gen Manager who SHOULD have been the GM. They brought in someone from the UK. WHY?!?!?

Pros

There are no pros to mention here, except that you will receive a laptop on your joining date. This review is specifically for Safran Digit, located in Hyderabad, India.

Cons

Feels like a school atmosphere. Strict work from office policies. Limited space for parking bikes or cars. Insufficient seating space in the office. Review meetings are frequent, resembling school tracking. Poor management.
