Pros

The annual bonus plan, called "EIP (Employee Incentive Program", is the most generous that I've encountered during my career as an individual performer as a product engineer at various automotive suppliers, and unlike the companies I've previously worked for who did provide a potential annual bonus for individual performers, they actually paid the maximum possible amount each of the four years I was employed there.

Cons

The culture in the department I worked for was very political, meaning that the Engineering Managers were given free reign to include their personal biases when evaluating and interacting with less senior employees in the department, including engaging in personal attacks and bullying in the presence of such an employee's peers, even when that employee did not even report to them.

Pros

Good benefits, good technologies to work on.

Cons

BorgWarner as a company and the leadership as much as they state they're innovative, fast moving, etc, in reality they don't do anything innovative. Every single project I have been part of is a result of customer pushing the requirements. There is so much potential to create new and innovative solutions but none of the leadership seems to be as interested as they're in the finances of the projects. Now I understand any company has to make money and importance of financials. I think the company is lacking in many fronts - innovation, attracting top talent, etc. On a personal level, I have had a lot of satisfaction for the first couple of years or so and then when I want to move to other roles. I took training and worked hard to get the certifications. Neither my manager nor HR is really interested in advancing me to the next level. Now anyone may be critical of me and say that there is something lacking in me, but I have checked all the boxes and writing this review after one year of facing issues after issues. Leadership doesn't seem to exist in the truest sense. I have asked repeatedly for feedback and mentoring and heard back nothing. Very hard to learn unless you move to another division or go to a competitor.
