Pros
Working for the Volkswagen Group in Spain can be a very positive experience:
Attractive brands, desirable products, innovative technology, resources to work with best external partners and suppliers, strong and structured business model, budget to carry on interesting projects, very professional colleagues. A very nice company to start your career and learn a lot about automotive business, systems, procedures, business cases, models and structured work flows.
Cons
The leadership model. Senior management with a higher educational level than previous generation of managers have a very poor performance on leading, managing and developing their teams. Only focus and worried by KPI. For last 3 years the company has been focused on fast results and quick wins. The message to employees has been "just do it" don´t question it, don´t bring up any problem.
Only professionals that agree 100% with top management decisions, are promoted and have access to interesting career opportunities.
If you are a good expert on corporate politics, you will succeed, this is your company !
If you struggle having to implement stuff you don´t believe in, or have a hard time saying white when you think is black, working in this company can be a big challenge for you!
