Pros

You get to work in a variety of areas because there is no stability of projects. It is a good place for people who derive satisfaction from challenges and difficulties in their jobs and do not care much about respect and salaries.

Cons

IDIADA India also follows a hire and fire policy, with no job security. As soon as a lockdown was imposed in the state of Maharashtra in the end of March 2020, IDIADA took advantage of the opportunity to immediately lay off 38 of the 124 employees in Pune, with all the remaining employees given pay-cuts. Around 80% of the engineers in CAD and CAE were made part-time employees, with only the managers and some favourites being full-time employees. You will be offered a good package, but very often you will actually be paid only a part of it. The moment your project gets put on hold or cancelled, you will have no work and will be forced to accept pay cuts upto 50%. The annual ex-gratia bonus is also withheld often. Sometimes, you will have 50% pay and 100% work. They have no ethics in dealing with employees, but the hiring team is very good in presenting a rosy picture while hiring. They tell the candidates white lies and promise them the moon and the sun.

Pros

Some excitement/thrill from live high speed crash testing everyday. This review is specific to the USA Adelanto Karco Engineering branch. If you're into automotive testing, you get a lot of first hand experience of the industry and NCAP. MASH or highway safety is the other department of testing conducted here. You will get to be very hands on with scheduling and seeing the testing from start to finish.

Cons

Small workforce is understaffed on different levels and as such are close to having a problem (missed employee or equipment) to cause delays. Needs to figure out the balance of workforce and profit to run smoothly. There are even more tests conducted than I listed, but the wider specialization needs more personnel so the smaller projects are neglected in the end. Year round testing means there's plenty of work so year(s) is needed to occur more PTO. No 401k. If you commit to living out in the desert the commute is short, if not your commute starts to add up.
