      DAF Trucks & subsidiaries: Good employer throughout Europe

      Management
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Overall a good company to work for regardless of the location or department you chose. DAF's European coverage and it's parent companies global coverage means that your only boundary are the languages you speak and the time you're willing to travel. DAF management structure is fairly flat and open and the company communication culture is also rather direct and to the point; which can be a big breath of fresh air if you've come from a beat-around-the-bush communication culture. All in all, DAF has become the market leader in the largest HCV segment in Europe and on the way to becoming the market leader throughout.. not so long ago, DAF was the tiny under-dog. This achievement is not just a coincidence; if you're smart and like the thrill of the fight, you will like this place.

      Cons

      Has it's share of big company syndrome, and not as technologically advanced in day-to-day operations as we like to think. Having said that the rate of improvement on these fronts is gaining more and more momentum.

      If you value your mental health, DO NOT work for DAF!

      Pros

      I honestly cannot think of a single nice thing to say about this company

      Cons

      This company is run by a bunch of egotistical bullies who couldn't care less about their staff. The pressure they put on you, the ineptitude of senior management, their completely unreasonable expectations, their total lack of concern for mental health, the environment, safety... They will work you into the ground until there's nothing left of you.
