Pros

This company is owned by Koch industries( one of the largest privately owned companies in the world) Good reputation with a lot of reach. Understanding supervisors. Company does the standard 4% 401k match then after 3 years it goes up to 7% for a vested employee( the company takes 3% of your gross and deposits that into your 401k acct) . Opportunities to travel if you want. They have locations all over the Globe. Many of the people I work with have been at this company for over 20 years.

Cons

Little to add but the normal corporate business structure at times can be difficult to complete tasks in a timely manner do to the checks and balances.

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.
