Pros
The only good thing in the company where the diversity of the team members and trust me, there are some really great people doing the "low, blue collar" work.
Cons
Overworked - Mainly happen because of the big number of people leaving and not being replaced, so all the work is pilled on top of the remaining workers. Projects were not resourced well - At one point I was covering 3 roles and of course being paid for one :)))) Poor communication from management - Especially when COVID struck...fiasco Very bad processes - but this happens in many other companies. Yet you still need management to enforce people to apply the process...that didn't happen. Old fashioned approach to management - Clearly visible that the company is still "Connaught Electronics" with a Valeo suit on top.....no wonder auditors think that the production lines are old and unreliable. Constant crisis mode - Because of the above mentioned point where the projects are not staffed properly. All the quotes for new projects are made in a manner for Valeo to "win" the project, with unrealistic project resource planning. No staff development - Even when you do "get promoted", all you get are promises and responsibilities, no actual pay increase or even in some cases no "updates on the company papers" in regards to your new role.... Long Hours Expected - Yes, they are expected of you, but get this...you have a contract of 39 weekly hours, but only after you worked 42 hours, anything above is considered extra and you lose the extra hours in 2 months. Also they are not paid. Unprofessional HR department - How about you offer feedback to all the candidates in due time, regardless of what the feedback is. I know people that had interviews(with department managers), got promised feedback in 10 days and at this moment 2 months have passed with no feedback at all....what is that about HR ?? And you call yourself the image of the company....very unprofessional And many more, but this should give you an idea.
