Pros

in ADAS domain conti has excellent products , so self learning may help you to groom. Incase you prefer this company, 1. Be silent 2. learn technicals from German counterpart (from Indian managers you can learn politics only, so avoid them)

Cons

I moved from VED to adas only because of following reason. 1. internal politics is very high in VED, so please avoid at any cause. 2. Long staying employees are cunning and political. they demand promotions and hike to their manager in advance and similarly managers stealing hikes from other well performing employee and distributing to their Pets. 3. Zero Exposure managers - In VED promotions are Fun and scam. Yes, an hardworking candidate wont be recognized, whereas managers pet will be upgraded to next level every 2 years once. Managers doesnt have any exposure to on technical, creating a process for company growth. Their only motto is to get promotions. 4. In 2022, reorg was done by VED head for name sake, but man behind that re-org is current chinese project head, serving as director , after this re-org conti lost many good employees , But he got promoted to director level. 5. Region specific : It is purely region specific company where middle level management comprised of Telugu and Tamil. Higher level reserved for only mallus. 6. No HR actions on political managers : for name sake HR will conduct survey, which will be trashed later projecting to top management. for past 5 years , leadership is the lowest scorers where employees complained abt their managers. but HR doesnt act on it till date.

Pros

Great work life balance and culture. If you want to work at a place that will provide a low stress, flexible position with amazing people, this place is no doubt one of the best in that area.

Cons

Pay is low compared to other companies in the area and the cost of living in the area is high. They seem to be outsourcing jobs to cut costs, so job security is not the best right now.
