Great Company Great Work - OBD Calibration Engineer I IAV Automotive Engineering Employee Review

I really enjoyed my time with IAV. It was a great company to work for. Great benefits with flexible hours if needed.

The work load wasn't always consistent. They closed down the dyno lab and laid everyone off.

Nice people. Good benefits. Decent swag.

Extremely poor management. CEO was changed right after I joined. Company is a subsidiary of the parent company in Germany but EXTREMELY tethered to it which makes it extremely hard to operate. Crazy outdated processes (CRM, expense reporting, travel, etc.) making working extremely inefficient. Near zero engineering support in the US despite needing to provide engineering services to US-based clients. Basically a fake it until you make it office riding on the reputation of the German parent. Had me speak on panels and represent the company to clients for an entire week only to lay me off the day after it was over. Steer clear.
