Pros

Exterior lighting is actually a technically challenging field. You will be able to see your work on the road, on tv, and in magazines.

Cons

Communication is horrible. Engineers can be micromanaged to death. Other times they are given no direction at all. Training on how to actually do your job is minimal if there is any at all. More emphasis is put on perception than actually doing your job well. We are constantly put down instead of built up. Everyday is a new example of how to not do things right.

Pros

Great place to learn and gain hands-on automotive experience. People are generally friendly and easy to get along with, and you’ll be exposed to a lot of technologies and real-world problem solving very quickly.

Cons

Upper management is disorganized and heavily political. Decision making is often chaotic, priorities constantly change, and there is very little work-life balance. Long hours and high stress can burn people out quickly.
