Pros

Co-worker are willing to help. Thing were great when Joe was CEO. Good first job. I would recommend staying for 2-3 years, then move on. Good co-op program.

Cons

Took away 1 week of personal time, took away hybrid work, took away half day Fridays in the summer ( tou basically worked 9 hiurs M-Th then took Friday afternoons, took away yearly recognition program. Raises are non existent Managers are not leaders, they are bullies Recent down sizing at corporate, moving jobs to Mexico. However the people they kept were H1B visa holders, Will hire someone and give them H1B visa instead of promoting within of a US citizen. For a company that makes brakes for school busses, quality is no longer the focus, it is the all mighty dollar/euro. - read that again. Quality does not matter. Do not expect that loyalty to the company will get you anything. The people who were let go have many years of service. Piotr, CEO, is Knorr Bremse’s puppet. He does not interact with the people with boots on the ground, except for being in pictures. HR does not follow up on complaints about managers and they do not care about employees They do not use lessons learned to make improvements to the process. Skill sets of employees are not used and are frequently discouraged.

Okay Company, Needs to Adapt

Pros

- Company cares about employees when it comes to support programs - People are good to work with and create a good environment to work in

Cons

- Management has a say in every tiny detail, no nothing moves at a reasonable speed and everything needs to be approved by far too many people - Strategies and plans for projects are approved, but every single thing needs to be approved and questioned even if it matches exactly what was previously approved. Makes it very difficult to get your job done in a timely manner, if at all. - Generally functions as a very small company where everybody has a say in everything, but as a fast growing company with hundreds of products and projects it isn't sustainable
