Pros

Interesting tasks, friendly and smart colleagues, great cars, awesome team

Kontras

More feedback to interns during the assignment.

Pros

Mercedes is a well respected brand. You may have the chance to work in a lot of areas within the global corporation. In general, there are a lot of talented people, exciting projects, and of course great cars.

Kontras

Salary is not competitive, average at most. A price that a lot of highly capable and motivated people were - and would continue to be - willing to pay knowing that a respected global corporation is behind them with responsibility for their employees and lots of great opportunities to grow an exciting career. However, a new CEO was just sent over from Germany and seems to care only about his own career, which will probably...

Care more and listen. Watch your leaders!

Pros

Exciting work with an awesome brand, some jobs get a car! Always working on improvements Several new leaders were just hired and very positive about that Great people overall!

Kontras

Some managers need Development and they are working on that Some employees complain too much and I think it’s spoiled SV mentality and not enough experience with other companies.

Pros

Transformation company and management embrace change agents Departmental transfer and cross functional roles highly encouraged All new ideas you bring is encouraged by management Working on the cutting edge tech in cars Flexible work schedule Generous travel policy (business class for international flights and 4 star hotel minimum) The bar is so low, that overachieving is easy Work-life balance (family first policy,...

Kontras

Long-time employees just complain and do nothing. They fight changes in process and improvements. A few annoying complainers bring down the morale of the company. Daimler isn’t as nimble as other car companies so the tech is a few years behind Tesla.

Rat an das Management

Long time employees should quit if they think they can do better some where else. It’s a free country and we are in a economic boom. To the people that just complain about pay every town hall, I say go find a better paying job. Understand for that 10% more pay you are expected to work 12 hour days, work on your 1 week vacation, and spend little time with your family. Because the startup is always so close to a release...

Pros

- I get to work with people from all over the world - I never stop learning and improving myself - Great benefits to support my family - Friendly, open working culture up to and including the CEO

Kontras

- The size of the company means fewer opportunities for promotion and job rotations than a much larger company can offer.

Rat an das Management

Spend more time coaching your employees, all of them (not just your favorites/deputies)

Pros

- Nice modern facility located in Sunnyvale, CA (headquarters) - Free snacks and coffee machines - Exposure to upcoming technologies in future models - Good name to put on your Resume

Kontras

- Management fails to motivate their employees, yet blames them when things do not go right. Management can care less about employee development - Lots of red tape. Too many unnecessary internal procedures. Too many unnecessary meetings. Too many unnecessary "trainings" - Very cliquey type of work environment, hard for new employees to mix in with the older employees - Everything must be approved by HQ in Germany....

Pros

Luxury brand on resume Free snacks

Kontras

Dysfunctional operations No growth opportunity Heavy bureaucracy and politicized decision making Centralized control in Germany By far the worst professional experience of my career. Don’t let the brand reputation of Mercedes-Benz fool you into the reality of the silicon valley office. The organization is a mess, and will always be a mess because it is a small regional office of Daimler. The silicon valley office...

Rat an das Management

No advice to management since they have no power to do anything. This is a structural problem that needs to be fixed by Germany HQ.
