Autoliv Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Autoliv as an intern for more than a year

Pros – nice people, good benefits, and competitive pay

Cons – work can get repetitive and by being part of a union you can see that some individuals don't do much work

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Autoliv full-time

Pros – Depth of technical knowledge and experience of retained employees, still better-than-average corporate culture sincerely emphasizing continuous improvement and ethical behavior, new initiatives to maintain quality and technical edge, management priorities are conservative yet growth-oriented, opportunities for global assignments

Cons – Check-in-the-box mentality has been an unpleasant side effect of global standardization, no formal mentorship program or recognition of the benefits of one, somewhat alarming recent increase in turnover mostly among promising younger and mid-career employees, relatively flat structure can make lateral moves enticing, but limit opportunities for upward movement, quest to become a "global company" is straining the culture that once made the company great

Advice to Senior Management – Continue pushing conservative fiscal management along with policies to encourage technological innovation and quality improvements. Do not sacrifice the culture that has been nurtured over decades for quick growth opportunities in developing markets, or risk even larger scale quality and ethics problems than seen recently. Develop and retain young talent with a strong mentorship program and rotational opportunities outside those provided to co-ops.

Former Employee – worked at Autoliv full-time for less than a year

Pros – Job security, cleaninness of the shop, equipment

Cons – Too many politics, i was hired by a third company, reviews (90 days) where done by someone who wasn't even in the shop. I could never discuse a salary adjustment with my supervisor or even a manager.

Advice to Senior Management – Cut the middle man on the reviews, salary discussion has to be done by direct supervisor or direct supervisor has to be present at the time of review and able to know the pay rate of employees.

Former Employee – worked at Autoliv full-time

Pros – Great quality upper management, project managers, supervisors and engineers.
Engineers were recognized & compensated for their contributions.
Great team feel in most departments I encountered.

Cons – Benefits started to get more expensive -- went from leading the industry with the best benefits [to attract top employees] to matching the competition.
Some elitist was divisive.

Advice to Senior Management – Don't allow the, "We are better than..." mentality to overtake a great environment to work in. Nip it in the bud. I know that there is allot of new business coming in, but don't allow it to cause you to loose sight of your greatest asset -- your employees.

Former Employee – worked at Autoliv full-time for less than a year

Pros – Great environment, managers are great to work with. A lot of room to experiment and do your own thing. Once you have the trust of your manager, you can really get a lot done in a just a summer. I felt like I was a necessary part of the team when I left.

Cons – It takes some time to get used to not having a clear objective. It also takes some time to get the trust of managers and engineers.
