Pros

This is a large sprawling company with several orgs that are distinct in culture and completely independent from each other, so read reviews here with that in mind. The company is trying to diversify away from depending exclusively on contracts with Auto manufacturers, and has embarked on building several software product orgs throughout the company. Several companies have been acquired, and the hope is that Aptiv can build the teams and cultures necessary to build profitable SaaS revenue streams. The market opportunities are potentially big, and the domain is interesting and involves non trivial tech challenges.

Cons

These internal startups/tech-acquisition still have to deal with the bureaucracy of Aptiv as a whole, and this leaks into areas of recruiting and compensation. The company has moved towards hiring outside of the US more and more. Remote work policy is a continual work in progress, and differs wildly across the company. Big culture gaps between senior talent/leadership brought in recently or acquired, and those who have been raised within the company. Overestimation and mismatched expectations of what new software product orgs can achieve. Company has previously depended on contracted agencies to hit short term software goals.

Toxic Culture all around

Pros

Great technology and really cutting edge innovation. The company has all that is needed to be just the greatest in the field. Most of team members are great and collaborative.

Cons

Leadership! Very toxic culture. Results above people. People don't matter. No flexibility and no understanding about work-live balance. There is no balance at all - just pushing people with very little resources to perform miracle results. No psychological safety - and firing people is just a routine.

Pros

Work on automotive products that are high tech and will save lives.

Cons

So, we're moving to Carmel to be more attractive to young employees, but we have layoffs every quarter?

Thank you for your feedback. We know that our Kokomo location has not been easy, as there have been lay-offs, and the situation has created some uncertainty with our employees. However, each of our sites must be set-up in the best way for future success. Therefore the decision has been made to move the office location to Carmel.
