Pros
Handful of colleagues that make the life better and want to grow and perform actual work with the team. The team looks out for each other.
Cons
Tough to know where to start from Everything needs to be moved from the HQ outside US even for basics like IT installation. Cannot fathom that they've been in Detroit area since 90s but haven't even planted a foot in the industry (possibly 2.5 decades worth of failed management). Always looking for short term money by targeting small projects to just stay afloat and no real engineering projects. EDAG's own global units are competitors and thus US unit does not have any projects to work on. Top leadership interested in only pushing and retaining their favorite people from the HQ country. Old Manager protected and rewarded his friends even when they're off projects for almost a year while people working all year long on different customer sites do not even get recognition. Team lunch is thrown out so that employees do not bring up the issue. Does not utilize team's talents according to expertise and employees are left with tasks that are always doomed for failure. Very bad environment due to few individuals that becomes annoying and frustrating all the time for employees who want to give their best even during the tough market.
