EDS Canada Reviews in Calgary, AB Area

Pros

EDS takes people in and trains them for a job which most places do not. The reason EDS does this though is because they actually pay so low that they can't get anyone with experience. So good place to come and learn and then go for the money elsewhere.

Cons

Way too much management and they protect the dead wood in management. I have 5 supervisors in my team of 10. That is 2 people for every supervisor and I don't have a clue what they do. There is a team lead here that is sick one or more days a week, every week and has not trained or let anyone else know the job so that the office can continue.
Also the salary is 10,000.00 less than the average salary in Calgary for the same position. They have the idea that they can train anyone to do a helpdesk job or a desktop job so we have people with no skills at all answering the phone. this s reception not computer help!.

Advice to Senior Management

You get what you pay for. You do not make software you deal in people and there skills and bill them out way higher than you pay them. You will never succeed unless you realize your resource is the very people than you don't respect and pay according. Paying too much to management and not ensuring you have trained technical people is why you lose accounts

Pros

Opportunities to work on a variety of projects, a variety of customer environments, with a variety of people.

Cons

Very difficult to find time for self-improvement, difficult to work with others as peers, coaches, or mentors, very little committment to training. Overall morale is very low, causing many people to leave for better opportunities.
