Pros

Considering all the issues facing the automotive industry, Federal-Mogul, treated their employees best of all the companies I have worked for. In terms of benefits, compensation, as well as trying to be fair to long term employees who lost money when they filed bankruptcy. Many other companies who went thru the same did not offer any benefits to help make older employees/employees with long term service close to whole.

Cons

Due to its size and large number of acquisitions during short period of time prior to the auto industry downturn - a lot of systems and internal administration was redundant and inefficient.

Pros

As an intern, there are many learning opportunities, including experience using cutting-edge technologies, and wonderful mentors. I experienced a friendly, and incredibly helpful environment, where all full-time engineers were willing to lend their knowledge and experience to encourage the development of the interns; even though each student was assigned one full-time mentor, as with most co-operative work experiences. Many projects involved either working with engineers and managers originally from outside the U.S., or with foreign engineers who remained working in their home country. The multicultural exposure was priceless to my professional and personal development. Also, the opportunity to tour different plants and to learn about how the corporation works as a whole was another bonus not always experienced by my classmates placed in other companies.

Cons

Job security is a common worry, no matter what department you're working in. That was a concern, however, even before the latest auto industry downturn. Also, for many employees, the work in one department becomes too routine to remain interesting after two to three years. Once someone has completed a number of projects, subsequent work tends to be repetitious, with little variation. For employees who enjoy being challenged, the environment can become somewhat boring. This tends to result in low employee retention, or department hopping. While there are numerous opportunities to change departments, that usually means relocation, because Federal-Mogul has a sporadic placement of offices throughout the world.
