Pros

A global company with a broad automotive product line. Good experience gained in automotive industry and how a supplier works.

Cons

The company is a conglomeration of many acquired smaller companies. The integration of new acquisitions has been poor. A long term strategy of the company does not exist or is unknown. With the current heavy debt and poor automotive conditions the company is in survival mode. Very little thought is being put in the future.
