Pros
The EDS technology is revolutionary and very efficient. Enthusiasm and hardwork are prevalent in the on-site employees working in main engineering and validation lab.
Kontras
Management of all levels mostly work from home so they are oblivious to instrument progress and individual contributors to projects. No female executives. No clear pathways or options for career growth. Promotions are rare and only result in minor pay increases. They will compare the % pay increase to your original salary to justify cap/limit in pay raise even though role/title may be completely different. No opportunity to gain additional equity or stock options other than what is stated on original contract. Company expects you to be on stand-by at all times to allow for communication with Paris team and contract engineers in Ukraine. Limited work life balance. Company stresses “transparency” as a core value but leaders don’t follow through in sharing projects and progress within company. The only transparency they practice is the gossip they share about other less technical employees behind closed doors with other executives.
