Transdev reviews

1. From the start, I knew I wasn't going to stay long. I was so excited about the project initially. The interview process was so generic and they literally hire anyone with a driver's license and a heartbeat. 2. Unorganized in the hiring process. They also promised a sign-on hiring bonus to all new hires and I never received that bonus. 3. When we were on site, other employees of Waymo/Google didn't interact with you and I felt very unwelcomed. 4. There was no communication from Waymo or Transdev leadership about the important work we were doing and how Transdev contributed to Waymo's goal. We were there to be test dummies and log miles. Doesn't really sound motivating. 5. The pay is low. 6. The supervisors talk to employees like trash. They are quick to fire and will let you know that. They also foster toxic work environments. Supervisors and managers need some serious people skills and management training. 7. Communication is terrible. No one knows who is responsible for what. My HR related questions weren't answered and there is no one at corporate to help you. I was there for over 90 days and never signed up for benefits. 8. The benefits are crap compared to working onsite with a tech company. I mean there is a huge difference in benefits offered and Transdev doesn't offer much. Sometimes Waymo offices close and you won't receive pay.

Executive management has their heads in the sand. They are a bunch of Taxi people running a mega transportation company with no clue how to compete with the likes of Uber and the evolving transportation marketplace. They are all about friends and family hiring and as they downsize due to earnings evaporating due to their arrogance, quality people are let go in favor of the inside group. Promotions are rare, pay is substandard and the respect for the individual is lower than the morale. I would avoid this place, the future is not bright as long as the current executive team is in place. Their thinking, "if it worked in 1984 it should work in 2016" and "Uber is just a fad"
