Pluspunten

-Nice location. -Multinational workplace -Many good pubs around.

Minpunten

-Incompetent managers and team leaders. -Bullying and abuse behaviors are everyday practice there. -HR totally accepts if not encourages bullying towards engineers not belonging to specific network of friends. -People get promoted based on how well they smile or abuse their colleaugues. -Very high turnover rates. Almost all the experienced and knowledgeable people have left the site. -The higher management (out of Lewes) seems to also appreciate bullying and cronyism as efficient management techniques. So, no hope... -It was a small company acquired by Continental but they never got integrated and they failed to adopt Conti's Values and code of Ethics. The previous management still has an obscure role in the building selection and the selection of people to be promoted

Dear commenter, thank you very much for your feedback on Glassdoor. We regret that your experience at Continental was negative. Our four core values “Trust”, “One For Another”, “Passion to Win” and “Freedom to Act” are integral parts of our continuous development process. Especially our leaders should act as role models and contribute to a positive working environment by living those values actively. Whoever is not able or does not want to live up to those values is out of place at Continental. Especially lack of trust between staff and their managers leads to a tense and difficult situation. Continental is offering to give feedback anonymously with different feedback tools (like Big Six Radar) and point at grievances or improvable situations. Alternatively the employee should use the chance to talk to a person they trust to ask for advice or support, e.g. colleagues from the HR department. We are aware that top performance requires team work and cooperation. Therefore we support flat hierarchies, openness and respect within the daily work. This applies also to leader who perform their responsibility with a cooperative leadership style. We strive to foster every employee individually depending on his/her abilities. If grievances or improvable situations arise Continental is offering its employees the possibility to give anonymously feedback. Good cooperation between employees and manager depends on trust and openness and should be nurtured. For this reason mobbing or bullying is not tolerated in any way at Continental. Accusations of bullying are taken very seriously at Continental and the grievance procedure which is compliant with the ACAS guideline is followed. Best regards, Continental Career Team

Pluspunten

Great work life balance and culture. If you want to work at a place that will provide a low stress, flexible position with amazing people, this place is no doubt one of the best in that area.

Minpunten

Pay is low compared to other companies in the area and the cost of living in the area is high. They seem to be outsourcing jobs to cut costs, so job security is not the best right now.
