Pros

EMD has a rich history in the industry that could provide the opportunity to be a world class manufacturing leader.

Cons

Career progression is based on one’s time served, not performance. This has resulted in the most inept management teams I have ever worked for. Employees are not valued as assets but a number. The culture is toxic and suggestions are only considered when they come from the management staff- who is generally incapable of forming an original thought on their own.

Pros

Staff appreciate the job stability, good pay/benefits relative to the Aerospace & Defense industry, and highly professional engineering teams. Many report a strong sense of purpose and trust in their immediate colleagues.

Cons

On the downside, some reviewers cite a top-heavy, process-oriented management structure, occasional disjointed communication across departments, and strict, high-pressure deadlines.
