Engineering manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of responsibility given to employees. You are allowed to take on as much as you can handle. Comraderie is developed among employees. Lots of change - a very dynamic environment. Nice campus. Global opportunities. Flat organization, with lots of upper management exposure. Open door policy of management.

Cons

Inflexible work schedule, no flex hours, long hours, poor company and industry financial position. Not supportive of work/family balance. Lack of technology or R&D investment. Regular salaried lay-offs over the years are stressful for employees, though an effective method for keeping a lean and strong team. Strong reliance on GM and Ford makes for difficult operating environment.

Business Outlook

Pros

Lear is a well run global corporation. Upper management does a good job of managing a lean operation and growing the company's business operations. Lear has an excellen IT department.

Cons

Lear is not as flexible as it could be when it comes to flex-time and working from home. A more progressive approach could mean happier and more productive employees who have more tools to balance career and family responsibilities.

Relentless, customer focused organization with some opportunities for improvement

Business Outlook

Pros

The pace at which you are expected to work and perform is relentless, as much a factor of the automotive components industry as it is the Lear culture. If you accept it and work with it, it will prepare you for whatever other endeavors you may undertake in your career and, quite possibly, your personal life.

Cons

The behavior and demeanor of many of the executives, at some of the locations, are, at times, less than professional in front of other employees and subordinates, never in front of the customers. This does not promote a satisfying work environment, much less a proffesional one. Also, process is often sacrificed in the name of expediency.
