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.

Pros

I had a job to survive

Cons

I thought coming in this organization would treat you better, but they still haven't learned from years of people have these experiences. This "one team" is simply obedience and this is not a review from someone who didn't want to do there job. It is purely a social game here. I haven't met a person yet who didn't talk about drinking or trying to have unprofessional relations within this organization. They have people who care, but not enough to actually do anything about it. They made promises of fixing the underlying issues, sending people to other locations, working to make the workplace better. But I promise you, they won't. In the U.S., you are a pawn to them, this is still a European company, and ethics isn't there game and you don't want to play. You can report, take time to make sure things are safe for others, but God forbid if you get a manager who sees you as a threat or gaslights you about your performance. They want you to rush, take unnecessary risks and they will discriminate you depending on the location. Come prepared with ADA accommodations, empower yourself to say no. And do everything you can to protect yourself if you want a job here without putting someone's life at risk. There is a reason Airbus tapered with evidence gathering flight recordings in France. And. they. got. away. with. It. If you get to a place were you can turn a blind eye, or have what I call, golden life privilege, where you made it somewhere and have some skills hard to come by with inequity in this world, then sign right up. That's what these positive reviews are about, it is just a game and they play the popularity contest to win. Not to keep you, and they will let you go, when you stand by the so called integrity they hire you on. Because this is a first hand account of it, and they will, take all the information you gather away from you.
