Pros

Great place with great people, most people have been there 10-25 years.

Cons

Not much hiring or open positions. Over 8 years I move 2 positions, tried to make development plan but was hard to climb ladder even with an exception rating on annual reviews.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the many years you spent at ZF. We’re glad to hear your positive comments about the people and the long‑term commitment many colleagues have to the company — that stability and teamwork are important strengths. We also appreciate you sharing your perspective on career progression. In some areas, the availability of open roles can be limited, which can make upward movement more challenging even for strong performers. ZF offers coaching, mentoring, and internal learning opportunities to support development, and we encourage ongoing career conversations with managers and HR to explore possible paths, including lateral moves or future opportunities as they arise. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback. We wish you continued success in your career path beyond ZF. Kind regards, ZF Team
