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.

Pros

A global company with a broad automotive product line. Good experience gained in automotive industry and how a supplier works.

Cons

The company is a conglomeration of many acquired smaller companies. The integration of new acquisitions has been poor. A long term strategy of the company does not exist or is unknown. With the current heavy debt and poor automotive conditions the company is in survival mode. Very little thought is being put in the future.
