Pros

- Good working environment, has its own building, near to MRT in central region, huge office space for your setup, office is clean and tidy. - Can meet many colleagues within or outside of the location. Is not fair to say all teams or leaders are bad, so it depends on your luck. - Good place to learn some domain specific skills: CAN bus, diagnostics, AUTOSAR standard, safety standard, ASPICE, and some process. - Low barrier to entry embedded software, especially for fresh graduate. - Good place to stay as a management guy if you lack of technical skills and good in political skills.

Cons

- Using C programming if/else can develop almost 80% of the functionality. Hence not much embedded skills can learn from it, unless you are the architect. - OK benefits only if compare with small company, relatively low-paid in the Singapore (it make sense if you look at the point above). - Many incompetent middle level management (2 out of 3) in those people/project manager, they are promoted because they stay longer than you. - Extremely heavy workload for those engineers at the bottom level, good people normally will just leave due to unfair treatment from useless manager. - Automotive industrial outlook is not so good and the company may not be profitable in the future.

Dear colleague, thanks a lot that you took some time to give feedback. We are sad to hear you did not find your career path at Continental yet. We offer different career path, not just a leadership career (expert career, project management career) and not only the supervisor is taking the career decision based on your regular employee dialogues where you hopefully aligned goals and expectations, document performance, and open up career prospects. Through our digital talent management tool mySuccess @ Continental, individuals’ skills, capabilities and aspirations can be made visible throughout the company. In addition, Continental fosters a strong feedback culture. We believe in frank, honest, and constructive criticism between colleagues and between employees and their supervisors. The ability to reflect critically on your own performance, the support given by colleagues, and the freedom to try things out and to make mistakes all add up to a creative and empowering working environment. Maybe you can get back to your supervisor with your wishes again and with this (maybe) additional information. All the best, Continental Career Team
