Good employee for engine management system engineers.

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- One of the best automotive suppliers world-wide. - Present in growing markets (e.g. engine management systems), the company offers great jobs in this area. - International career. - In Germany, good work-life balance is possible. - Higher management is quick at decisions.

Cons

Currently (2008) the employee morale is not very nice. The crisis in automotive branch is of course partly responsible for this. I feel that the company is not doing much effort to avoid that good employees leave to other companies.

Don't go into the automotive industry

Senior mechanical engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

International company so there are opportunities for international travel and assignments but it seems that the international assignments are more for people into the US Number 3 or 4 automotive supplier in the world

Cons

The only source of revenue is in the automotive industry so pay and benefits ebb and flow with the health of that industry At this facility engineers are leaving left and right and everyone else is being laid off The company is very lean as far as management and because it is a German company it seems that opportunities for Americans to move up the ladder are few
