Pros

Salary (from a certain seniority) Interesting projects You get to learn a lot Great project management people

Cons

Narrow minded team- and site-management Harrasment is a common HR policies are a joke IT is a joke Production rules enforced in R&D (sic!) Bureaucracy is the key driver, not the customer not the product (ie French management) Refusing to fake (test) results is a big no-no with a slap on your wrist

Pros

Great place to learn and gain hands-on automotive experience. People are generally friendly and easy to get along with, and you’ll be exposed to a lot of technologies and real-world problem solving very quickly.

Cons

Upper management is disorganized and heavily political. Decision making is often chaotic, priorities constantly change, and there is very little work-life balance. Long hours and high stress can burn people out quickly.
