Business Outlook

Pros

They can offer high salaries, which is good.

Cons

I worked at EADS D&S and they have been preparing documents for several years, without getting any actual work done. There was no product, not even an alpha version. Everybody was writing and reviewing documents about architecture, integration design, database schemas, but they never started actual work. It's a very boring place of work. Also, many employees were weird, undermining each other and were not united as a team. Some of the employees have no idea what to do, and some of them are plain stupid, the only explanation is that they were hired because they are a relative or close friend of the management.

EADS NA - A Post Mortem Review

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

This company offers great pay and customary benefits.

Cons

- Experienced a blatant disregard of formal written company employment offer commitments. Displayed a clear disregard for employees and their families, and unequivocal violation of ethics, basic contract, labor and employment law. A professonal disappointment. - A lack of industry compliance resulting in strained customer relationships, and impossible to protect this Company from itself. A losing proposition and violation of industry standards, regulation and law.
