Pros

Culture diversity. Good Work Life balance

Cons

Toxic management.(Encourage to work like sheep just follow orders and not to raise any questions, Office politics) Not keeping up with the market on salary and increments No differentiation between slackers and hard workers, if you are looking for your talents to be recognized then Continental is the worst place to work. Worst HR policies.(just read more reviews) Get Promotion only if you are bootlicker

Pros

- Work life balance and flexibility

Cons

- Incompetent employees are protected, a lot of talkers but less do-ers - Slim chance of getting promotion (minimum 7 years) and it depends on if your supervisor has strong communication skills

Dear colleague, thanks a lot that you took some time to give feedback. We are sad to hear you did not find your career path at Continental yet. We offer different career path, not just a leadership career (expert career, project management career) and not only the supervisor is taking the career decision based on your regular employee dialogues where you hopefully aligned goals and expectations, document performance, and open up career prospects. Through our digital talent management tool mySuccess @ Continental, individuals’ skills, capabilities and aspirations can be made visible throughout the company. In addition, Continental fosters a strong feedback culture. We believe in frank, honest, and constructive criticism between colleagues and between employees and their supervisors. The ability to reflect critically on your own performance, the support given by colleagues, and the freedom to try things out and to make mistakes all add up to a creative and empowering working environment. Maybe you can get back to your supervisor with your wishes again and with this (maybe) additional information. All the best, Continental Career Team

Pros

You work for a well known company so it's something that may look good on your CV

Cons

Decisions often made outside of UK. Technical Experts are not listened to so products are generally flawed. Overloaded with project and product managers and too few engineers. Management culture is to cover one's own back and to move up the ladder asap. Redundancies are being made to experienced engineers however locations with project managers have been unaffected. Only offer minimum legal redundancy to workers with 20+ years service which for a company with the resources of continental is unbelievable. I'm fortunate that i managed to find another job quickly but others have not been. Engineers receive very little training and are generally pigeonholed on to one project. I worked on only two different projects in 7 years and I had to lodge complaints in order to change projects as I was not getting any opportunities for new work. Bad communication between UK sites.
