Pros

Benefit package is above the normal rate in Mexico City, Team members in IT are friendly but as in every place you have to be careful and diplomatic to get things done. Particularly in Mexico IT will take longer to implement any project than in other country in Latin America. The best part is the cafeteria, healthy and convenient, it is the best EVER!!! USA team was very kind when we were tyco, now with wht aquisition of Johnshon Controls it has become bigger and more complex, but still you can find nice people.

Cons

Salary is not precisely the best, Getting a full time employee took me a year being a contractor. Project implementation is complex and takes a big effort, but it is possible.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
