Pros

Remote options for certain positions.

Cons

No proper onboarding for new joiners: I've been here two+ years and there has been no improvement since I joined. Horrible leadership across the business level and Digital org; no progress is made on priorities, priorities are the same year after year, The Digital organization is a disorganized mess that doesn't understand what "Digital Transformation" looks like. The amount of attrition is the highest I've ever seen. They select software that do not meet the needs of the organization, ignore employee feedback, rush "improvements" that end up not working leading to loss of employee confidence, decreased efficiency and productivity (oh and they blame the project teams instead of leadership taking accountability on their decisions." Fake values: The parent company of Molex is Koch which has 5 key principles. They sprinkle these "principles" into messaging but leaders use these more as buzz words when "volunteering" employees to take on more and more initiatives outside of their scope of work. You also get charged $25 a paycheck if you don't complete a wellness check with your doctor. I recently moved and haven't established a new doctor yet. I think that is absolutely deplorable. Long of the short: this is not an "employee first" company. Find a company that cares about its people.

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.
