Total lack of synergy

Pros

Like most places - there are some very good and hard working people at BorgWarner. Products are good - on par with the competition but becoming a commodity where everything will be price driven.

Cons

Management is without vision. The only thing they can say is "lower cost." The individual plants are in competition with each other and do not share ideas or opportunity. Tim Manganello actually sent out a newsletter and said "we are successful because we have a great culture. I don't know what that culture is but let's keep it up." Clueless - seriously clueless. Cronyism is as prevalent as it is in Washington.

Pros

good people, good support, good culture. BW is a great place to feel like you're doing something useful every day.

Cons

lots of work! 12+ hour days are expected during crunch times, and the pay isn't as high as other Tier-1's (although, to be fair, the cost of living in Ithaca is substantially lower than, say, Boston)
