What is the hiring process like at Continental?

Nice people, nice work and good hiring process

A little too much things to verify everyday

Chances of visiting to the factory or office from other region

Not sure for other region, but Malaysia office for sure is not a place to work. Bad onboarding experience, lack of knowledge transfer, managers are too busy in playing games, unprofessionals HR team when comes to HR related issue..

Good projects expected to come to Bangalore location. Technically growth is good Rich organisation culture.

Trust, freedom to act- which are Conti values is non existent in PL4. Everyone are politically motivated and suspicious of each other in the management. Back stabbing and favouritism is ruining the morale hard working people. Management just want to show they are getting results at cost of burn out of development teams. The new boss is horrible and always threatens everyone. Too much toxicity and micromanagement at all levels.

European company but Indian management is incompetent. So not a Pros.

My first year i was at Continental Automotive component which was during companies good time. I felt this was the best company that i every worked with. Little did i know. Now there is not good time, it's the worst from past 1-2 years. 1. Incompetent management from C.E.O of india till your manager (LALs). (Factory mindset doesn't feel like a tech company ). Attendance matters over your work. 2. non-technical manager who have zero business contribution, so the only job they have is to make your life HARD. 3. Appreciation incentive is worst (avg 4-5%) according to them the company is always performing bad (no wonder with his management). 4. Too bloated with respect to number of non technical managers, who have zero contribution to business and these are the ones who decide on your career trajectory. 5. 5 days work week and 9 hours mandatory and it is tracked like their life depends on it. 6. Employee well being is not even in their check list. No matter how many times you voice your problems it's always on a deaf ears. 7. Employees have been asked to put down their papers and salaries are being with held if they not comply (sad sate of one my college). All of this is unofficial channels no mail conversation. My Exit process was a huge Pain had to follow up for 40 + days just to get my resignation approved. Exit process is even worst with my won experience. Due to incompetent manager and minimalistic work mind set. 8. There some concept of LAL (Lean Agile Lead). In every town hall there is a question on their contribution, every time it is brushed off. 9. In one of the town hall, There was a question on Management efforts to get more business. To which CEO replies come to my Cabin we can have a discussion on it. 10. There is no new business in AM, all the projects are being delayed by over a year and quality of work is worst more than 15% comes back to re work (quoting the CEO ). List goes on and on. If you hear Continental Autonomous mobility (Aumovio new name) please RUN away, it's a sinking ship. All the visionally Leaders have left in past year or two only bottom of the barrel dirt is left.

The nice culture and great values

The managers and the process

Good People and Fairly Modern Office

Used to be a tech leader with innovation in the automotive sector but that has been completely lost. Poor relationships with customers. Lack of new business being awarded. Several years behind competitors in tech development. Profit margins are well below competitors. The company is slowly dying as a result. Long term outlook is not good and I would avoid. No new hiring and serious financial troubles.
