Pros

Many of the older people have taken early retirement, allowing opportunities for younger engineers.

I work in the Powertrain HQ in Pontiac.

There are many great jobs at that location.

They work on engines, transmissions, etc.

There are now over 100 dyno cells at that location.

If you are a more senior engineer, you get a company car.

Cons

Financial uncertainty. Job moves (i.e., different cities) often required for advancement.

Advice to Management

Keep advanced research. If you really want to be like Honda and Toyota, then keep vertically integrated.
