Vantaggi
- Legal department management consists of competent lawyers who afford their staff significant freedom to act - Relationship between department heads and rank and file lawyers is always respectful - Legal counsels with more generic commercial portfolio are well supported by specialized departments / teams in fields such as anti-trust or digital law.
Svantaggi
- Salary evolution for non-tariff employees has consistently failed to match inflation since 2019. - HR department is an utter disaster and has done irreparable harm to Continental in Europe over the last years. Inquiries and questions are replied by meaningless management speech without content. Salary negotiations or reviews are denied flat out, despite support by the legal department head. - Very high employee turnover makes work very stressful, remaining employees often carry double work load for significant periods of time, again due to HR incompetency and failure to approve applications by department heads to refill existing positions for several months (!).
