Pros

Varied and challenging work, technology driver, exciting products. The company is a truly global company having operations and R&D in most areas. Of course it is a German company so very organised and detailed which can sometimes get in the way given that procedures have to be followed. Opportunities exist for bright stars, company recognises stars and develops them accordingly. Annual performance reviews are designed to advance the employee and identify successors. Company has dealt with the economic downturn with respect and trying not to have to lose employees. Systems are very good throughout the company, workers very talented and motivated.

Cons

Automotive industry declines have resulted in lower orders resulting in reduced income resulting in tight budgets etc etc etc Headcount hold is a challenge with the new products that are being developed. There are in my opinion too many people on visa's, sometimes Germans are moved here for jobs that do not specifically call for a visa holder and could be done by a local. This is a German company and sometimes they are german centric, Lotus Notes - argh this is a junk email system but Continental are joined at the hip to it. Best thing they could do would be to go back to Microsoft Outlook

Pros

Continental is dedicated to staying on the leading edge of technology for both the global benefit and the economic benefit for consumers.They continue to look ahead even these hard economic times.The auto industry is facing lots of unknowns and Continental is taking the necessary steps to make sure they are positioned to be a leading supplier. The research and development side of operations is still busy working on developing the next generation of products.While work is still,well work.It is satisfying to know that this is a company that is willing to look out for its employees future and stay focused on what is happening now.

Cons

Still has some old school closed minded people at the top. Not always willing to listen or share information.
