Pros

Good compensation, benefits and good travel support when you are on the road.

Cons

Hotheaded manager who seems to be hungover more than not who cannot have a normal conversation and expects total recall off the top of your head from events that happened several months earlier, no support on critical program issues, plays blame games and has a so called program manager just like him, both very immature. There is also no training to speak of when coming into this job. You are on your own to figure out their systems and how they do things which is the most convoluted way of doing business I have ever witnessed and they are arrogant enough to think it works. It doesn't, it's broken and has failed. The Germans who were part of this team are good people, helpful, supportive. ZF/TRW NAO is a Hostile workplace. They are lucky they are not being sued. As far as corporate values, they do things for communities and on the world stage but talk a good game to their employees whose managers think they own them and no longer have a life. Stay away... There are much better places to work than here.

ZF TRW

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- challenging/interesting work, high level of responsibility - ownership of your own work, autonomy - good pay - coworkers/immediate manager have been good to work with - ZF recently purchased TRW, perhaps over time it will positively influence ZF TRW

Cons

- fast pace/aggressive auto industry - culture is awful - lack of good/clear processes - don't feel appreciated by the overall company/senior management - understaffed, many seem to be doing the work of 2-3 people - high turnover, people coming and going constantly - horrible IT systems, so you spend tons of time doing non-value add activities that a system should do or do better (data analysis, tracking systems, etc) - good data not available or painstaking to get
