Pros

I loved my job because the testing of raw materials was excepted or rejected by me for safety of the materials. I wasn't doing the same thing on a daily basis and we were communicating with supervisors and finding ways to better the results and finding problems and solving them.

Cons

I hated that the company went out of business on Continental Blvd. They shifted our work to Mexico after a large downside during the year of 2007-2008.

Pros

The work is interesting and the compensation is on par with the rest of the industry. A lot of the work centers on developing product for US auto manufacturers, so one feels to be making a difference and contributing to the bottom line. The people are generally pleasant to work with and team atmosphere is pervasive.

Cons

Continental has a well deserved reputation for cheapness. Projects are under-resourced and tools to do the job are inadequate. Decisions regarding IT infrastructure seem to be made solely on up-front cost without regard to function. The company grew through large acquisitions and is scrambling to make its debt payments -- massive cost-cutting pervades the company and customers suffer.

Pros

They have many unique projects young engineers could be involved in. People are great to work with. It use to be a good company to with for. .

Cons

Salary are below average. No chance to climb the ladder unless if you're involve with interfacing Germany. Being as an automotive business, it's very unstable to work for now.
