      Came with great passion for automotive + internet and left with huge disappointment

      Pros

      - Free food - HR caring about gender equality - Great work life balance, (since you are not delivering much tangible outcome)

      Cons

      - No product vision or strategy. This place is just a marketing prop for Continental corporation to say that they have "silicon valley operation" and "startup entrepreneurship" on paper. - Middle management doesn't know what they are doing. Thus, they have no idea of how to evaluate anyone's contribution and performance. Plenty of good people left with frustration of not being recognized and not being able to deliver customer value. In the meanwhile, plenty of people whose day-to-day job is just sitting there and browsing the internet are comfortably collecting a paycheck. - Horrible leadership from top down. Things could have been changed with new leadership, but it's an unknown. The best thing the German headquarter had done to this ITS division so far is to let the original executives go, after the employees had to endure moral harassment and embarrassment for 2 years without any directions. The worst thing German headquarter had done to ITS is to hire those executives from Google in the first place. - Rigid culture and not enough diversity. Middle management here tend to refer and hire their own family members and friends on the team. It can be very dangerous.

      Great company to work for

      Pros

      The Company has a very bright future and is doing very well financially. It feels like I am working for the winning team. This is important obviously. There are many depts and each one is different, so I can't speak for all. My department is good, with good leadership. The company has good processes in place, and is very forward looking. Lots of tools for you to learn and use, and they are very quick to adopt the best technologies & practices. Management is smart about doing business, with very good forward planning. Benefits are above average and I am happy with my pay. I like my job and I enjoy working here. Top management aims to build talent and expertise at all locations and to run autonomously instead of using non-HQ locations to do the boring low level jobs. Timezone with HQ Germany is good so all telcos are done only during office hours. Good work life balance.

      Cons

      HR department gives me a bad impression. They were dishonest about the fact that they have included AWS into your monthly pay and did not inform me about this till after I have signed with them. That is quite unethical. You only get 16 days of annual leave which is below market for this industry. Some of the HR staff are very rude and unprofessional. I feel that the Company could do a better job of branding itself. Its a great compant to work for but not many people know about that. Too many foreigners who cannot perform. Can see clear cases of certain nationalities hiring their own people. Singaporeans seem to be a minority here, despite the fact that Singapore produces competent engineers.
