Avantages
The culture among peer groups is more collaborative and less dog-eat-dog than many places. The products are successful and market leaders in many cases. Social groups seem to develop easily, and the workforce is surprisingly diverse when compared to the local and regional demographic. A great choice for North East Ohio loyalists that can commute easily, or those with visa status seeking a job in IT or Engineering.
Inconvénients
The culture is being eroded by process overload and a seemingly combative attitude of the parent company towards the Bendix division. Unless it is a record year with record truck build, management characterizes it as a tough year, with the usual belt-tightening messaging and actions. The metrics used to manage the business are often unrealistic, with the predictable outcome being that results are often 'disappointing'. The products are often mature commodities and the interesting development and decisions are generally made overseas. Not the best choice for someone trying to secure the most interesting and profitable position on a regional or national scale. Turnover is quite high.
