What don't you like about working at Electronic Data Systems?

"Since I was with the company for over 17 years I was impressed at how EDS invested in its people development. In the year 2001 all that changed and training and mentoring programs went out the window to save money. The company is not the same and has little loyalty for its employees. Manager controls employee's career and if you have a bad one you are screwed."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Get back to your mentoring and training programs and instill employee to employer loyalty again. Playing politics with employees' careers and making things difficult will only harbor bad feelings."
