Stellantis reviews

The merger between FCA and PSA has created an incredible disruption. Sr leadership is pushing to get an enormous number of new programs quickly out the door with no consideration (cluelessness) for the technical challenges that they present. Employees are squeezed like lemons, programs are behind and all is done is to make money available to subcontract to engineering services companies which results in little to no decrease on workload (engineering services still need to be trained and coordinated), loss of knowhow and overall dissatisfaction of the employees. The company has no directions from higher ups in harmonizing and converge processes, all the work is done bottom up with considerable effort and in silos, since different organization are not proceeding in alignment and political games are inducing procrastination and slow downs. The feeling is that the company is in shambles, it will probably become a force to be reckoned with, but that is not now.

Work life balance is a joke. There is more focus on cutting costs instead of making a great product. Since the merger there are even more bureaucratic processes that are now in place, all in the name of controlling/lowering costs. Upper management casts blame on people for being late even if the true root cause is processes and situations well beyond employees’ control (including insufficient staffing). There is very limited hiring to address an insane workload, and typically it is remote contract workers hired with less experience. The company gives lip service to valuing employees - but it is clear we are merely a cost to be cut/reduced. Most morale is low, and this is across various departments.
