Continental Employee Reviews & Ratings

The work become stagnant with time.

Work life balance not promoted

not clear promoting path working style highly depending on Team

Spend more time reporting about work than actually doing work. I would say honestly reporting is between 70-80% of workload and management could careless when you bring it up.

Low pay, no work life balance, poor mgmt, nepotism, no training, no recognition.

The money is not that good

Less Work life balance at this company

I do not know what

Low pay as per industry level .

Now, in 2025, with automotive industry as a whole sufferering, it is not a good place. We have to beg for projects and are expecting to be laid off. Management in Germany doesn't value us in the USA.

depends on position, depends on exposure

Nothing yet. I was able to do Severance changes

Full on office really little days wfh

Automotive world is going through a huge revamp in 2025 and Continental is deeply affected by its EU business due to rise in Chinese EV. Business conditions will be tough. Continental is not competitive in China and has essentially lost its competitive edge there. Which means rise in Chinese EV will not have any benefits. Automotive division will be carved out in the future. (for potential sale) Crazy work hrs due to multiple global teams and constant management meetings, reports with no regards to workload. Not sustainable in the long run.

Leadership Lack of support with high management issues

Few business wins resulting in continuing budget concerns and continuing workforce reductions. Very little opportunity to advance in this environment.

Teams stress level varies based on project.

Pretty boring, not much stuff happening.

Sometimes very little transparency from management Very bad managers (technical skill-wise)

Layoffs are a too common

We might get saturated working on same thing for long, better to change work/team within department or across department so that you can get good exposure to multiple things

Work life balance needs to be improved

downside is limited career opportunities

Very poor management, micromanaging motivating by using humiliation

Management for department/teams need to be reviewed

No cons in this company

Less salary growth No challenging work Bad management

Leadership, lack of communication, no transparency

No career growth because of politics

Bonus and increment getting worse and worse, spin off is coming so not sure what to expect, promotion is hard or non existent in last two years due to spin off

Pace of Decision-Making: Decision-making processes can be slow due to the large organizational structure. Limited Career Advancement: The paths for promotion may not always be clear or straightforward.

A lot of work that I am not sure the experienced people knew how to do it and little guidance. I've felt like i didn't know how to approach the problems.

No drawbacks to say now

Human resources are having a very bad influence in everything.

Restructuring all the time and saving programs

Work culture and collaboration with Employees

Too much overtime without compensation

Like I need business, when business is down, work becomes less interesting, more tedious, and pay increases slow

Slow, could improve processes in certain areas

Poor management, unclear explanations, a lot of beauracracy

No room for growth, low wages, lack of training, company sold more than it can produce. Management is all about favoritism rather than results. Inexperienced overall engineers, logistics and HR is a complete joke.

Organization change too often, Hard to plan 6 months ahead of time.

Internal politics Management issue Less hikes

- bad situation of the industry - too "political" communication

Nothing that came on mind at this point.

Growth is hindered if you stay for long time

Over time the company changed the employee profile. From quality hiring to quantity hiring. And the lean agile leaders are not using the available tracking mechanisms to evaluate the performance of the employees, many times they give freedom to the employee and trust them that they'll do the right ting, which is dangerous for both the company and the employee performance.

No cons to speak of.

Work Life balance on certain day goes on toss.

My team is good so nothing to say.
