Pros

Good place to start after school for new beginners! Good benefits~

Cons

- upper management only care about revenue - nobody cares about employer employee relations - feedback from the exit interviews are not implemented - employees get fired for no good reason and is dependent on the manager - huge turnover in 2021 due to poor management - no career growth, no challenges, no opportunities to learn and people do the same work years and years together - lots of positions are not filled after an employee leaves, creating a huge ton of work load for the remaining employees - vacation days are very limited - diversity is not valued

Pros

- Very strong technical teams and talent density. - Product portfolio is genuinely world class. - Great customer relationships and customer service. - Smart acquisitions in recent years for expansion into EV market segments. - Strong underlying financials

Cons

- The location in Asheville is rife with the good-old-boys mentality. This stifles internal (healthy) competition and promotional opportunities. - The combustion industry is on its way out, so talent retention and density will be very important as those tied to it naturally contract. BorgWarner is not doing enough to keep their star employees or motivate them (at least, within the ETTS business unit). - Specific to Application Engineering: there is an enormous amount of emphasis and pressure placed on the engineers to win business at all costs - more so than Sales. This disparity is not fairly reflected in the compensation or monetary incentives for Application Engineers. - External hires seem to be equally (if not more) favored than internal hires, even for those who 'exceed expectations' year after year.

Pros

Beautiful area, decent work experience.

Cons

Company morale is at an all time low. Awful work-life balance. Very judgmental work staff. Everything seems like a competition between work staff to see who can get the most work done. Also, I feel like upper management gives little respect to their employees. It's really not enjoyable to work here.
