Continental

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
