Solid Company; Too Much Recent Divesting

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Strong product and customer base in building efficiency, batteries and automotive seating. Good industry reputation, good salary and benefits, many longer-term employees. Generally good advancement opportunities in this large global company.

Cons

The company has recently shed its very profitable automotive electronics division, and most of its automotive interiors business, which may lead current employees to wonder 'what's next to go?'

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salary, great bonus potential

Cons

Finance organization manages IT so most IT initiatives are cost control related without thougth to best practices, innovation, or advancing the companies capabilities. Vacation policy is stingy in US. Anticipate layoffs soon since the company will split into 2 separate companies within the next year. Weak vendor management processes to handle outsourced service providers. Weak IT leadership with significant nepotism. Decentralized IT budgets that negatively impact opportunities for leveraging economies of scale, best practices, enterprise standards and creates a bloated software portfolio based upon subjective selection criteria (i.e., personal preference of sponsor).
