Pros

They offer stable employment with decent benefits, like 13th salary, occasionally performance prizes, and also, starting with the Senior Software Developer range, a target achievement-based VPA (variable payment agreement - out of the company profit) which can add up to another salary for good target achievement. The office climate and working conditions differ a bit from one department to another, but on average the climate is medium to good and working conditions medium. It's possible, though not very easy, to switch teams to work on different topics/projects.

Cons

The Timisoara, Romania location is near the city limits, the rooms are generally quite overcrowded, there are no relaxation spaces aside from the balconies. On some projects there is a lot of inertia, and people who are either incompetent or dodging work or both, and as a result, it can be quite frustrating at times. If you're unlucky, you might get an obnoxious direct supervisor, which, as everywhere, can be a pain. The company goes for an average employee, who is not overly capable, but can be taught to do some types of tasks, and generally you are pushed to become an expert in a narrow branch, as much as possible.

Pros

If you are not much worried about life and want to go to office just to talk to each other and spend time in meetings which has no meaning, yes this is the company you have to be in.

Cons

Management lacks vision. They have money and they spent unnecessarily. I see no growth in this company. People who spent time in Conti learn very less compared to a other companies. But people say Conti is far better than Bosch, uff, i wonder how Bosch is.

Pros

Employee training is good. at least the training is up to date and easy access.

Cons

definitely messed up process in the work. The project management needs a lot of improvement in order to avoid tons of overwork. Personal responsibility is not clear.
