Pros

Very little really, many were sold a vision that never actually had c-level commitment behind it. Then people were told that this was never what was said in the first place. There is no forward-thinking going on (at least within the Dublin office). If anyone tries to do something new massive resistance is put in their way and in some cases they are just 'removed' to stop their efforts. They got a large number of very talented people to leave good jobs based on both a large salary jump and a promise of interesting and challenging work, for many the sweet taste of the increased paycheck has well soured since very little of the work they were hired to do ever got a budget or support to proceed. So Pros: You might get a salary bump, but you'll regret it nearly instantly. The location is very good. The building is great if you want to 'look' like you work in a modern company.

Cons

Where to start. Basics: No parking, no stock for normal employees, exceptionally poor leadership, nearly everything is out-sourced. For Dublin in particular, pretending to be Corporate HQ is a joke, as a site it is so removed from the actual activities of the wider company it may as well be a call center. No culture, in fact, the employees recently got the blame for a bad culture score, the remedy? Hold an all-hands where we were told "Go make a better culture", this must be the only improvement program they haven't out-sourced, which goes to show how much they care about that. Relocated numerous staff members from various countries only to now make a sizable number of them redundant, very classy move. Hire numerous talented IT professionals than not support them either by connecting them with the wider company or budgeting for the work they were hired to do. Sack people who rocked the apple cart and actually started to make a difference across many functions IT, SCM and Finance.

Pros

The marketing department is great at creating positive reviews on glassdoor. Disregard the obvious fake reviews, challenging work environment is short for toxic and unraveling as a recent million dollar survey announced. Can be hard to get your head around the global scale and complex divisional structures really means aptiv is full of fiefdom, to get anything done you need to follow a broken process using broken systems for no thought out reason for no recognition. Question anything - fired. have an opinion - fired. talk out of turn - fired. try something different - fired. The fear and toxic culture comes from CEO CFO dynamic duo all they way down - the need to impress wall street at all costs means nothing matters only numbers. Culture is a joke there is none. They are Trumpian rip off merchants overpaying themselves to fly all over the world telling people how important they are, Look out for them with their begging bowl in the coming months.

Cons

Everything about this place is a con. Dont worry they will be shedding most of the irish workforce soon enough and move onto the next country willing to put up with the Kevin and Joe show.

Pros

Good Salary, Nice Offices, Work Interesting, and varied, opportunities to travel depending on area of business you are in, some of the people are inclusive

Cons

HR unsophisticated not strategic, staff are a number treated badly, staff under huge pressure to deliver to unrealistic deadlines, Dublin corp office hiring and firing within 11 month probation period pulling people out of secure jobs then dumping them callously, no management structures in place, a lot of shouting, staff distressed within months of being there, American managers think they are in US not Ireland using US practices a lawsuit waiting to happen
