Business outlook
Pros
The work is interesting and the compensation is on par with the rest of the industry. A lot of the work centers on developing product for US auto manufacturers, so one feels to be making a difference and contributing to the bottom line. The people are generally pleasant to work with and team atmosphere is pervasive.
Cons
Continental has a well deserved reputation for cheapness. Projects are under-resourced and tools to do the job are inadequate. Decisions regarding IT infrastructure seem to be made solely on up-front cost without regard to function. The company grew through large acquisitions and is scrambling to make its debt payments -- massive cost-cutting pervades the company and customers suffer.
