Business Outlook

Pros

-The facilities provided by the company are good. -Great canteen. -You'll get a lot of free time to do other work whilst in the office. -Reduced working i.e 9hrs + 5 days a week is a boon -You get 30 Paid leaves which is amazing -Getting leaves sanctioned is not an issue

Cons

-No team work what so ever -In the Global Engineering Unit of GEA, Indian Employees are just cheap laborers and they are only allotted with drafting tasks despite having a Design Engineer title. -Individual growth is distant dream -Life at GEA is mundane and the company fails it's employee to provide enough challenges. -Most of the time you'll be sitting idle as they don't have enough tasks.
