Pros

Magna makes so many poor decisions that you can be sure you will not be short of work

Cons

AFTER MANY YEARS OF MISGUIDED LOYALTY AND SERVICE WORKING LONG HOURS HOLIDAYS INCLUDING CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR TO MAKE SURE PROGRAM TIMING IS MET ONLY TO FIND THAT LOYALTY TO MAGNA IS A ONE WAY STREET

Pros

Open environment, as it is constant reorganisation. That means it is flexible in approach, and processes can be proposed and tuned to a certain environment/project, as there is no 'Magna' way of doing things. Hence, it will listen if you make a case to do something, and give you your yard of rope. It engenders good loyalty and team spirit.

Cons

Politics- especially German:UK wars. Constant reorganisation at senior management level destroys effective leadership Financial controls are stringent - 'doing' (manufacturing, project) departments are seens as support functions to finance. Finance never supports others with info, just demands.

Pros

Its local and the pay can be good, as long as you don't want to go home during daylight hours.

Cons

Management does not have a sense of direction. Its a great place to shoot from the hip every day of the week but a disaster for longer term (anything more than a week) thinking.
