Business Outlook Surveys Job Title: Systems Engineer IV Location: Submitted on: 07-Feb-03 Job Title Workplace Survey Systems Engineer IV Working at Continental has an upside - business casual dress, flexible work schedules, and overtime paid to salaried employees when working on approved projects. Unfortunately, this is more than balanced out by a corporate culture that embraces infinite levels of useless middle management, promotes the Peter Principle, and relies on consultants to help with any decision - actual employees need not offer their opinion. As an example, we were using a consultant for years in the EDI area who was excellent, really sharp. One of my dotted- line managers worked with her daily, always taking her advice over employees, calling her for everything. The company finally made an offer of employment to her, which she accepted. Within a month she realized that her stock had plummeted--she was now in the same lowly position other employees were in, and the manager is relying on another consultant. Advancement opportunities are limited, especially in IT. There are, however, opportunites for lateral moves and training is made available to those who ask or show some interest. The other frustrating aspect of the company is the German propensity to override perfectly good strategy put in place by the North American executive team with nonsensical plans whose primary purpose seems to be protecting or expanding the dominion of a European executive.
