Pros

Most of the management are good and reward their employees for excelling in what they do. The guiding principles remove a little more of the potential bias from subjective reviews allowing for some growth and monetary compensations.

Cons

Promotions and career growth are pretty limited unless you know the right people. You also have to be very careful being really good at something because that just might keep you in that position while others advance around you. The biggest issue is that bad behaviors are also rewarded when it comes to product management causing unnecessary stress on delivery teams. The lack of transparency with customers also makes it a more difficult environment to work in. Over promising on delivery and timing of such means more firefighting instead of focusing on quality work and true customer satisfaction. It's one thing to push to meet deadlines but a completely different thing to be dishonest to customers and delivery teams. Everyone else pays the cost while sales and product teams get the bonuses and time off. This is impactful to morale, family, and physical health.

Pros

Molex is a great community. There are a wide variety of professional employees to network with. It is a very large company, but a small community.

Cons

Decisions from upper management, do not always trickle down through the organization. Not all of the departments follow the same guidelines. Case in point is remote working. different groups have different allowances. It is a small thing, but an area that could improve.

Pros

Benefits are very good for a company this size

Cons

Team is run based on last minute requests and on a lot of meetings to join leaving little time for your usual work. Director likes to devise “innovative” ways to get sales to give more information but instead it translates to chaotic management and more stress for demand planners. There are a lot of stress placed on leads for not getting their teams to get to unrealistic goals with an unsupportive sales team. There are hardly any consistent reviews for employees but it’s not unusual for employees themselves in PIPs. Overall I would say it’s a chaotic management style in this team. Pay hits industry average but not much more. Additionally there is an overemphasis on being in the office in this company because they recently invested millions in renovations so they track your badge swipes. There are really no company wide events to get people more unified other than a quarterly CEO town hall that managers force everyone to attend.
