Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of early careers support. Overall helpful people and nice environment.

Cons

Huge gender gap and age gap. A lot of people who work there are super into cars and mechanical engineering, so if thats what you're looking for -its good, otherwise the work can get a bit stagnant/boring.

Good work life balance, poor progression

Test engineer - climate control

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work-life balance is good and generally managers are good people and support you on your work and personal life. The office is a good place to be in and the hybrid schedule is very good if you have a family.

Cons

Pay progression is a joke, loyalty is not rewarded but penalised. Someone coming from outside the company will get paid more than someone doing the job for 5 or more years. Progression into management level is ultra competitive and usually the friend of...or someone with contacts will get it. If you are a woman it will also be easier for you to get into a management position as they want to artificially increase their %.
