Pros
Solid values, some very intelligent people, good place for a first job
Cons
Painfully slow to improve on anything unless you are at Germany or a few other major research hubs, wages below average, stagnated people with little experience outside the automotive or Continental itself causing even further crushing of new ideas that some might not understand or want to explore, useless "experts" hierarchy where some feel like they are the second coming of Jesus when they can't see how backwards are themselves some times. Hard to learn from other areas on the same company, they have internal walls (metaphorically) where not even vital information or processes are shared between their own areas. They will never teach you the basics of the Automotive business until you really need it for a project, but will ask you to teach everything new you know instead, they are not reciprocal on the knowledge sharing. Management is a HUGE mess, nobody knows or wants to take the initiative and are more worried about on what to save money than the development or quality of the products.
