Hyundai Motor America Reviews

Pros

Just like any other work place, there is stress, deadlines, and work to be done in a timely and efficient manner. But what really sets Hyundai apart is the people. Plus the following: -1 1/2 weeks vacation every December, plus 2 weeks vacation (must be accrued) -Medical/Vision/Dental insurance -401K match -Gym -Library -Dry Cleaners -Cafeteria & coffee kiosk -Yearly bonuses & salary increase -Employee Resource...

Cons

It's a bit of a gentlemen's club and a majority of the leadership team is older white males. There are few to no women in high leadership positions. The Korean culture has a strong presence. It is hard for change or new ideas to be passed since everything must be approved by the HQ in Korea. The employees do their best for the terms that have been set!

Advice to Management

Continue to support and be flexible with your employees!

Pros

I made some of the best relationships at this job

Cons

Just like any other job there is a little stress.

Pros

Hyundai is a company committed to Diversity, Inclusion and Social Good.

Cons

Highly talented group of managers but they don't rotate enough.

Pros

The company and brand is on the rise, quick to adapt to industry changes, and is challenging itself to increase quality and reputation. Complacency will sink your business in this industry and it is reassuring to see the company set higher standards for itself. Efforts to differentiate the brand and create its own personal identity/space in the industry are ongoing.

Cons

Fast follower in the industry, which is a good thing when it comes to processes. For vehicle design and model line up, there's too much focus on the Korean market and what is attractive or eye-catching overseas. Engineers and designers need to create vehicles with a deeper understanding of what consumers are seeing on the road in the US. This is because competition is much stiffer in the US as there's more to choose...

Advice to Management

Create distinct, consistent models of vehicles. Too many models come and go and there's not enough time to let each model develop a following or reputation. Foster and evolve the models, while trimming the fat and overlap.

Pros

Good HR events, you'll get more free food /events to appreciate employees, communities, culture, etc. Company is small enough to know everyone you work with, but big enough to get global automotive industry experience

Cons

Hard to get promotions, has a ceiling on how many promotions/new employees each department can add, which is approved by the mother-ship in Korea--count is very limited. Promotions, bonuses, transition from contract to full-time is all based on seniority/network and not based on how well you do your job. Not a great place for career growth.

Pros

It very good workspace environment.

Cons

There was not any real issues .

Pros

Intelligent co-workers, Opportunity to grow within the company, company lease program perk, on-site gym, free plug-in chargers, acceptable of creative thinking, your success depends entirely on your work ethic & attitude

Cons

Korean parent company is a penny pincher, many internal systems are antiquated (each of these are minor/common issues)

Advice to Management

Spend money on upgrading your digital infrastructure, loosen Purchasing's grip on the company

Pros

The HMA HQ building in Fountain Valley, CA is nice.

Cons

Unequal distribution of work. Some groups work their butts off and others have it easy always having time to join different ERG groups. Some groups have to juggle workload, accommodate instructions coming down from HMC in Korea, and manage various projects. Promotions come easy in some departments and not others. In some departments, you see individuals getting promoted almost every year. Some may be well deserved...

Advice to Management

Is the many levels of management really necessary? We need worker bees not more top management. Review organization structure and have department heads redistribute workload.
