Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at ZF TRW full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Nothing really is worth mentioning. Just another company. It doesn't stand out from the crowd with anything special.
Cons
One issue is the spoken language all around you. I completely understand the global aspect of any business but when the people around you are discussing technical aspects in Hindi that should include you as well, and you can't understand a thing, after a while you discover the concept of marginalization. I'm not talking here about official stuff like meetings or communication, I'm talking about the small talk, the chat from which great ideas can arise .
This brings me to the idea of "team". There is no such thing like "team spirit" and real leading and role models. There is no bond or any real connection between people. Robots everywhere. At least this is the feeling you get. You see groups here and there of 2-3 people and maybe you hear someone laughing but usually this is only when interns are involved or people that know each other and are working together for many many years.
If you're trying to be part of something, something challenging and alive, look somewhere else. This is that kind of place where the soul goes to die. If you have some skills when you get hired, it's very likely to lose them while working here.
When it comes to facilities, the place is a bad joke.Advice to Management
Fire fighting is never a solution.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at ZF TRW full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Can learn new stuff and have very knowledgeable people around. Friendly work environment. Free parking. Canteen available but not great food.
Cons
- No growth.
- Year end review does not hold any value.
- Short vision managers.
- Managers more interested in politics between sites and getting more people under them.
- HR is crap and does more admonition work rather managing employees.
- Pay increments are miniscule.
- Keeps losing their best employees and never learn.Advice to Management
Try holding onto ur best employees. It doesn't make sense to hire a new employees and pay them a lot and train them when u could have just paid the same money to ur old ones.
