Pros

Flexible schedule, work from home ability.

Cons

Once Tenneco acquired Federal Mogul they acquired 16 powertrain plants they all ran separately with their own rules there’s no communication from corporate HR to the HR directors that oversee the powertrain plants a lot of the communication was left on the talent acquisition specialist leaving many questions. The approval of jobs go all the way to the top to the president even for the smallest job. The on boarding can take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks they do not have competitive pay and in my opinion, they seem to be a very racist company when it comes to hiring Indian engineers that do not require sponsorship they are also not interested in new grads most of the time.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to move around the organization to different roles. Wide latitude to complete job tasks, as not to rigid. Goal is to complete job, whatever it takes. People at lower and middle ranks are great, really miss them since leaving.

Cons

Work/life balance poor, high expectations to complete work at expense of personal life. Can get burned out as becomes the norm and not the exception. Little bench strength, work is disseminated to team, and no cushion if any team members are out temporarily. Compensation appears to be in line with other Tier I Automotive OEM suppliers. Company was great to work for until current executive management team led by Kessler took over, then went downhill.
