Pros

- Quality of work is good , nice teammates (most of 'em) . - Good learning through project, and good chance to take ownership on design. - Compensation is fair based on location. Good 401K match.

Cons

Oh boy ! Let's see... - This branch (Seymour, IN) of Valeo is unstable in terms of projects and growth. - Work culture is horrible if you're from a suburban/ progressive work culture ! - Valeo promises for Green Card sponsorship while they hire H1B people, but they'll lay'em off/ make them quit at the first chance they get after they've delivered the project no matter how good their performance is ! - People on H1B got a separate mail from management amid COVID-19 peak to be present at work (even when the work was possible from home) , just because someone at management has 'felt' so ! - Management was rude and horrible even while laying off. - I had only 2 real technical training in 2.5 years of tenure ! This is a thing typically if you're from Electrical/electronics background ! - Valeo France doesn't seem to care much for this plant in Indiana ! - I've seen an offshore engineer from India (who visited the site for a couple of months ) got screamed at and he got treated badly by rude people ! - You need to pay for coffee ! Onsite cafeteria sells frozen food that might churn your stomach ! - I've seen few of my ex-colleague got treated badly in meeting by his N+1. - HR policy is a joke, HR's are non-communicative after they get you onboard !

Pros

Great place to learn and gain hands-on automotive experience. People are generally friendly and easy to get along with, and you’ll be exposed to a lot of technologies and real-world problem solving very quickly.

Cons

Upper management is disorganized and heavily political. Decision making is often chaotic, priorities constantly change, and there is very little work-life balance. Long hours and high stress can burn people out quickly.
