Pros

stable job, okiesh benefits and a big name in the industry still. will get you exposure to big projects and deep insight into the industry.

Cons

training and technical development seldom happen. salaries unless you from the head start get hired with a good one will not be adjusted as they promise. so you will likely get promoted and retain the same salary. HR definitely not transparent enough. basically, they hire you to become a very involving gear....that is bound to rust.

Pros

flexible working hours; home office; good pay; not very demanding

Cons

very conservative mentality in processes and top management; little to no freedom to improve on procedures; very slow progression if you don't compete (in a negative sense) with your peers; projects an image of modern, "cool" workplace but functions as a company from the 50s - very safe and stable for cristalized, older and more conservative-thinking management (who run the company), and really not a place for younger, innovation-driven minds.

Pros

- Legal department management consists of competent lawyers who afford their staff significant freedom to act - Relationship between department heads and rank and file lawyers is always respectful - Legal counsels with more generic commercial portfolio are well supported by specialized departments / teams in fields such as anti-trust or digital law.

Cons

- Salary evolution for non-tariff employees has consistently failed to match inflation since 2019. - HR department is an utter disaster and has done irreparable harm to Continental in Europe over the last years. Inquiries and questions are replied by meaningless management speech without content. Salary negotiations or reviews are denied flat out, despite support by the legal department head. - Very high employee turnover makes work very stressful, remaining employees often carry double work load for significant periods of time, again due to HR incompetency and failure to approve applications by department heads to refill existing positions for several months (!).
