International Senior Product Development Engineer reviews

The company's executives lack vision. They want to make money but have no real plan on this. All we did was cut costs, cut costs, cut costs. No one is buying Navistar/International product. That is why the company will fail in the long term. Costs of products are too high and we have a horrible reputation in the trucking industry. Middle management is horrible at Navistar. They run around without purpose, cutting programs and groups, and redeploying this resources to only start up the same programs with new people a few months later. So much experience and knowledge is lost through this mismanagement of resources. Navistar is only focused on one thing, cutting costs. There is no quality or customer first attitude, cost is the only thing that matters right now and no one can figure out how to make more money, so to help our bottom line all we can do is cut costs.

Budget, workforce, and timeline cuts put a lot of pressure on the engineering staff. Too many executives/VPs pulling everyone in too many directions, with no clear path. Playing the catch-up game due to past decisions was very demoralizing. Continual flattening of the organization prevented room for promotions
