      I worked at Tyco full-time

      Pros

      Great products. Good reputation. Pay and benefits are very good

      Cons

      1) Management has, more than once, decimated service and support groups, even immediately after investing in them. (To keep dividends & executive bonuses high?) 2) I have personally witnessed high level executives have a temper tantrum so keep your head down worker bees. 3) Despite many long term employees, there is absolutely no job security here so take the money and keep your resume fresh. 4) Trust nothing!

      Advice to Management

      Remember who does the work. It's not the upper management that keeps the money coming in.

      can't seem to find any

      Cons

      hired to fix an issue with client
      once client relationship was rebuilt
      company eliminated your services

      Advice to Management

      doesn't matter, it seems majority of the senior management, no longer works there

      I worked at Tyco full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Very caring and stress free environment
      Friendly and supportive team leads and managers
      Embracing educational and technical development
      Payment was always on time
      Very flexible on work time and team leads almost always trusted developers
      Strict on core values

      Cons

      Each year you may expect termination with no or almost least meaningful reason (According to colleagues)
      Sometime you may feel number of members in team are more than enough which can slowdown overall speed
      Some projects were at risk because of weak time estimation and management
      There were some complains on performance evaluation

      Advice to Management

      Use professionals for marketing and system integration. They are core to right project definition which should be delivered on time to market.

      Pros

      I had a great boss, great teammates, great work environment.

      Cons

      I was laid-off because of the impending merger, and my job was moved overseas to Ireland. I had to train my replacement, who was incompetent.

      Pros

      Pay. That is the only "Pro" I could come up with.

      Cons

      Terrible training; no one cares if you complain or have feedback to give since they're a Unionized company; terrible workplace culture and morale; no room for advancement so whatever you get hired for is what you'll be doing the entire time; company keeps getting bought and sold so upper management constantly changes every few years.

      Advice to Management

      Train, and give your Trainer some training at your Toronto location to gain better people skills to administer better training!

      do not pay well and lay off employees every year

      Advice to Management

      Please think about the employees' salary as well.

      I worked at Tyco full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Easy going. Feels like a government job. Good technical experience.

      Cons

      Low pay and no room for advancement.

      Management always tell you what to do instead of taking feedback on what the product should be. They try to please everyone and make the product more complicated filled with useless features. Sometimes it feels like there is no vision. When layoff cycle comes, they lay off people who they don't like.

      Only people who suck up to management or people who are good friends with them seem to get ahead. Lots of favoritism, even though they say they don't favor people.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to your employees. Keep your good talent and weed out the bad apples.

      Benefits could be better but they are still okay.

      When I get the support of management I get the minimum, nothing more
