Pros

The MBM/PBM principles are very solid principles. The co-workers were easy to work with and helpful, they genuinely wanted to get to know you and work with you.

Cons

Expectations from upper management were not clear from day one on the job. I was left to make my own path to learn the basic information needed. (not that I minded, I don't need direct instruction to learn what I needed to be successful) But then was told, without clear expectations from up-line boss, that I was not meeting expectations 2 months into the role. You will be judged for not being available 24/7. You will be judged for not overcoming every barrier immediately. You will be told that upper management is here to help you but then get ignored. Everything is urgent, if your boss has eyes on it you better be working on it. This means dropping the important task you are doing and focus on what your boss is focused on.

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.
