Pay if fairly good for entry level, people are nice, your own office. Thats about it.
Cons
Was hired onto GEA group to replace the role of a leaving project engineer, no wonder they left. In six weeks of working here I've been given zero work, Ive been in a total of 3 meetings, and have yet to be introduced to practically anyone. Onboarding was a mess, It took weeks to even get an email and computer, took excessively long to get necessary software on my computer. Manager is practically impossible to find. The written job description is also vastly different from what I told I would be doing my first week after hire (not that I have any work to do anyways).
I was told I was able to work remote, but have been required to come into the office every day to sit and twiddle my thumbs for hours on end. The office is drab and the facilities are filthy.
My advice, take the job and use the enormous amount of free time to search for another job while getting payed.
