Pros

Most people are great to work with. Lot's of expertise and training available. Need to reach out to get it. Positively, looking for corporate expansion.

Cons

Pay is mediocre and bonus hardly existent, even when you meet your overall goals. More important for BU to meet its goals. Overbearing and demanding mgmt reporting on all fronts without priorities. Mgmt expects all the jobs done no matter the workload on set dates. Poor mgmt. feedback loop for job performance and poor efforts made to remove roadblocks to create better efficiencies. They promote work-life balance on paper, but realistically, could never be accomplished...work loads had be taken even when on vacation. I've worked at same role for over two years with very limited efficiency increases. Everything done through SAP. Personal Recommendations were rarely accepted to be worked on, even when they seemed to make sense.

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.
