Pros

High-tech complicated work. Even though tires appear simple, they are probably the most complicated common engineering problem I can think of. Rubber doesn't behave nicely like steel, aluminum, or even plastic. The majority of the people here are top of their class from very prestigious schools. For fresh engineers, they will not consider anyone under a 3.5 GPA, even though they adverise for applicants down to 3.0, and you better have Formula SAE experience along with a co-op in rubber, composites, or tires.

Cons

Office is closed between Christmas and New Years, but they are not paid holidays. On top of that they force you to utilize vacation time, meaning you can not take those days unpaid. If I had known 3 out of my 10 vacation days were dictated, I would have negotiated my compensation differently. I consider it a loss of 30% of my vacation. Very annoyed.

Pros

A lot of good people who do genuinely care. Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Sadly Goodyear is a declining company. The new C-suite talked a big game but company performance speaks otherwise. Market share/volume is declining quarter over quarter and the stock price is being killed. Many long tenured and loyal Goodyear employees have been laid off due to job outsourcing or plan closures. Before taking a job at Goodyear make sure to do your own research on the future of the company. Sadly for such a long and storied brand the future does seem bleak. Death by a thousand cuts….
