     repititive, manual software work dumped from other locations.

very bad senior management
Bad and young HRs who cant help out against these senoir managment
Lot of imbalance in salaries...You will stick to same salary where as new joiners cross you in no time
No onsites

Advice to Senior Management

Be transparent to employees
if you cross 50 please leave the company..

Pros

Good learning if you have time (which you will not have)

Cons

The team you join is very important. Few teams are notorious in Delphi for its horrible work culture and improper management. Senior management doesnt care about the employees as long as they are generating revenue from them. Tehy expect you to sit in ur place and work from morning till evening. My team especially loves to do micromanagement which is very irritating. They expect the status to be intimated every 2 hrs. They ask your work status when you go for a break.

All in all a very demotivating place to work for... :(
Writing this from my personal bad experience and my colleagues bad experience

Advice to Senior Management

DO not allow micromanagement. Respect employees and have a healthy work life balance.

Pros

Very technoolgical oriented with oppurtunities for advancement. A fast paced dynamic manufacturing platform steeped the desire for in continuous improvement.

Cons

Very difficult at times to make change in the workplace due to union politics. If you work there for a long time your expectations lowere with the environment.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to strive for change and make workplace rule changes manditory for the consideration of new work coming in to the site.

Pros

Interesting topics, good level of challenge in solving various auto-related problems

Cons

Finance heavily runs the company. As an engineer you may know the best solution to a problem but a financial employee will trump your professional opinion if need be. The morale of the engineers tends to be a little low, and many of them are older "squatters".

Advice to Senior Management

Better focus on teamwork, balance among different areas within the company
