ZF Group Algorithm Development Engineer reviews

Too big company, hard to reach some ceilings

Benefits are apparently fine, but not working if you got sick Dubious job description will give ultimate disappointment Possible H-1B abuse by putting good-looking job description but putting crappy workload Need to work more days than Automotive OEMs Management and Interfaces plans insane and unrealistic schedule, and they toss them to employees. Consequently, they are covertly demanding overworks. Now, they are not giving promised additional bonus by overtime works. Some of the people still bullying vulnerable. Many people are leaving (High Turnover Rate), and HR is filling the vacancies with experienced engineers, but it shall take some time to train them. Not taking quality seriously. Understaffed, but need to cover gigantic reviews and documentations. HR is just focusing on controlling, teasing, tracking, and chasing employees. They are not focusing on filling essential vacancies. They do not care employee's wellbeing, which takes part of high turnover rate. Information is not properly shared between teams and within each teams. They are not talking same language. Nepotism, Favoritism, Racism… Some managers and supervisors are bullying some young employees with having a delusion that young guys are to replace those old guys. Their interest is only keeping their position, and they are using company politics to rule out young employees. Generally do not care employee's career and development, but just giving overwhelming workload to cause burn-out. Lack of the proper return or compensation despite of the workload given. Mixture of bad cultures from ZF and TRW. You may give up the job security, career advancement, support from bosses, and promotion when you decide to keep work-life balance. Less supportive environment. Lower level supervisors and managers might give passive-aggressive treatment once they don't like you with any reasons or no reason. Everyone is so busy to take care the support request. Prone to get mental health issue. (Tip - Use EAP Benefits and Mental Health App Benefits)
