My Point of view about this position:

Pros:
-Definitely the most interesting position i hold so far, the Valeo employees involvement is pretty strong, everything is made to get employee initiative, any goods ideas are quickly spread within the all group.

Cons:
- 2008 automotive and finance crisis hit hard and slow down too many projects and business.
