Pros

Federal-Mogul is a big corporation, and for that reason has both great, and not so much people working there. Your experience there depends greatly in what department you work in. It seems that VPs have favoritism among departments. And within departments, there are a few individuals that are looked as favorites. Some of them have proven that they really deserve the special treatment. However, most of the times, preferential treatment and promotions are given on a "I like you" basis. So achieving and beating goals will not get you anywhere. You have to be liked by someone important. If you are, then you can very quickly jump up into management. If you are not, good luck.

Cons

Morale has not been great with the economic downturn. The current CEO is very hard on his subordiantes and this is reflected all the way down to employees. Some managers are great, and if you are lucky enough to work for one of them, then your time here will go very smooth. But again, if you really want to be promoted, you have to be liked by the above people

Pros

Great brands and products within the auto industry. Employees have the ability to make decisions and work independently. In past years you were compensated for hard work put in. Still some geat people with great skill sets working there.

Cons

The company is going through tough times with the industry downturn. There has been many cost cutting actions put in place with cutting of employees being the largest. All departments have been cut to the point where it is tough to do anything correct in reference to customer shipping, billing etc. Unfortunately, the cost cutting is not being done at the top where there is the most waste. While head counts are being reduced, management is bragging about the ability to lower the workforce count but continue to spend money at the top with concern at short term goals to achieve their bonuses at the sacrifice of the company integrity. Stay away from this company until there has been a major upper management change.
