Pros

Great for those who like to work with high technology and challenges. Well known and admired company Very organized and result driven

Cons

The buildings are old, ugly, dirty and crowded Doesn't pay well The hour bank policy is very unfair. You have time discounted if you delay more than 5 minutes, and only start recovering hours if you work more than a half hour a day.

Pros

Great products and technology, amazing engineers and talented people passionate by aviation. Nice entry salary, 401k.

Cons

Embraer has 3 main problems: - Bureaucracy: administrative areas and IT usually are designed to solve problems inside a company but it is not how they work inside Embraer. They create a lot of unecessary bureaucracy and process that cut the inovation and work flow. I have seen a lot of projects losing their time to market. - Does not value the employees: too long hours for an engineer company, food is getting worse everyday, cutting benefits, there is no carreer plan neither salary increase. As time passes, your salary will be nothing compared to peers in other companies and far below the value it should be due the responsabilities you have inside Embraer. Some good improvements, such as home office, are not real: it was implemeted however the low management does not allow you to work from home even knowing the whole area is elegible to home office (it is a really old culture). - Transparency: you will be the last to know anything.

Pros

- Work can be technically challenging sometimes. - Good medical benefits (although company is trying to make it worse). - Nice retirement plans. - Job security (for good and bad employees).

Cons

- Poor leadership in all levels. Bad decisions. - No perspective of evolution. Career growth is virtually non existent. - Bonuses are not attractive. - Working hours is excessive. Little time flexibility and no home office option, making difficult to balanced professional and private life. - Working environment looks like from the 60s. If the noise of the factory was not enough, rooms are packed with more than 50 people working together speaking loud. Old furniture, horrible chairs and tables. Dirty bathrooms. - Incompetent people hardly is fired affecting others motivation in being productivity. Performance evaluation is worthless and the company does not know how to retain talents. - Archaic and Bureaucratic business processes. - They told you the company is global, but it's not. They don't stimulate international exchange between units. Sites are all segregated. - Horrible food in cafeteria and lunch refectory. No option to have a decent lunch nearby most units. - HR is a joke. Very poor communication. - The company offers transportation, but it is not air conditioned. Buses are ridiculously hot especially in summer days (temperature is like 32ºC or 90ºF most of time).
