      Great people, questionable leadership

      Pros

      This review is subjected to the Allen Park office ONLY. Aptiv acquired Control-Tec, who was great and where most of the pros stem from. Note that other offices have completely different cultures/benefits. - Great people to work with, culture is about making sure everyone is on the same page and just wants to build something great. Teamwork is a non-issue. PMs and devs are your partners through and through. - Cross-functional folks and users are amazing and kind people. Very passionate about their work and willing to help you as much as they can, whether it's teaching, including, and giving constructive feedback. - WLB is great, though once in a while a push is needed to deliver, and with take-as-you-need/unlimited vacation, you can't get better than that (Allen Park office only). - Culture events like board/video game nights, whiskey/beer guilds, bbq days, and food truck summers were plentiful at the Allen Park office.

      Cons

      - Management are often at a disconnect with upper management/leadership strategies, which gets worse at IC level. After Aptiv acquisition, product teams including SME experts were unsure/unconfident about the product they were asked to build. Validation and justifying product decisions/directions was a constant sore point between product and upper management. - Be prepared to be the only UX resource across multiple products/PM's. Once the ratio was 1 UX : 7 PMs : 30+ developers. Be prepared to brutally prioritize and deliver what you can. You are also a PM, but the pay won't reflect this. - During COVID-19, Allen Park Aptiv quietly laid people off after leadership made assurances of that not being the case. 2 months later, and right after 6 weeks of furloughs, layoffs ensued. Roles including mine and high-performing software engineers were affected.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback. We understand being acquired by another company, in this case Aptiv, and succesfully integrating into another organization can be quite challenging. We have initiated several communication initiatives in the past months and years, i.e., regular All-Employee-Broadcasts, sessions by the leadership team on strategy, and Employee Open Forums where questions are adressed and answered. If you feel unsure about the direction Aptiv is going, please reach out and share your concerns with your manager and to your local HR department.

      Pros

      Lots of growth opportunities, and some of the best coworkers I've found yet in my career. The things we've been able to accomplish across the globe with multi-national teams have been truly remarkable.

      Cons

      The culture at APTIV is more of a shapeless forming blob. As Delphi, APTIV had a distinct culture of "Excellence" stemming back to the Packard days, and a proud history there as well. Companies such as Control-Tec and Unwired also had their own distinct cultures that were more like google and made your team feel more akin to family. Plenty of work got done above and beyond due to this. Now those have been stripped away into the APTIV Culture, and it is palpable in comparison to those hay-days.

      We want to thank you for your open and honest feedback. Your opinion matters and we hope you share it with your respective HR business partner of on DRIVE line. Ensuring we have a culture that fuels innovation and embodies our values is critically important and a priority for the company. We recently outlined in our corporate sustainability report the steps we have taken, and will continue to take, to transform our culture. As part of this effort, we launched a series of employee engagement surveys, evaluating our cultural strengths and identifying areas of opportunity. These surveys were supplemented with employee interviews and leadership development workshops in North America, Europe and Asia. Each session was hosted by our CEO, CHRO and multiple members of our Executive Leadership team, along with expert cultural acceleration facilitators, focused on leading through culture by embodying our values and behaviors across our extended global leadership team to fulfill our purpose and execute on our strategy. In 2020 and beyond, we will host similar workshops for over 2,000 mid-level managers, while continuing our ongoing organizational surveys.
