Missed opportunity to build an innovation center

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Growing corporation with fairly well working internal processes, possibility to work on interesting projects.

Cons

Unfortunately interesting projects are not done in Prague. While the Prague office (Eaton European Innovation Center) is being presented as an R&D center developing cutting edge technologies, it's in fact an internal offshoring center leveraging cheaper labor force in central Europe. Engineers in Prague only work on short, well defined tasks to support their respective business units, no real innovation is being done here.
