Need to re-establish job-specific tasks and workload at R&D
Pros
-Fun environment -Cool products -Employee rebates -Bonus -Good insurance package -Hands on approach
Cons
-A lot of unpaid overtime -Excessive workload -Insignificant salary increase post-covid -Salary not competitive -Abysmal location -Too many projects at once -Job-specific tasks are unclear and job evaluation criteria seems meaningless -Inconsistent workload and task distribution across employees (favoritism) -No formal training process -Invisible HR -Outdated and inadequate design process (need to integrate FEA analysis more in the design process and rely less on physical testing) -Way too much planning and management done manually, need to redefine business processes (desperately need to deploy PLM, better ERP and project management tools) -Vehicle development engineering spends too much time supporting operations and other business units instead of doing actual R&D
