Pros

Good retirement match for new employees.

Cons

- No real diversity in US sites despite what the company promotes - Touts participation in events like Women's Day but doesn't make any changes despite upper management being majority white men - Employee "appreciation" day meant TE giving 10 out of 100k+ employees a chance to donate $50 to a charity. A shady cover for another tax break from them. - Doesn't invest in employee well-being or employee resource groups - Most engineers not encouraged to work from home during COVID - Plant manager creates culture of fear, no one acknowledges that the pandemic may be making life harder right now - Constant layoffs in Medical despite have plenty of orders, jobs cut are never brought back and innovation is expected but no resources available - Site management doesn't advocate for employees to upper management - Personal development is stressed as important but only if it's going to benefit the company and if you can find time between all other responsibilities - New employees get 10 vacation days and that doesn't increase until being with the company for 10 years; Gives absolute minimum number of vacation days - Gives absolute minimum benefits compared to other US companies - Everything involving the whole company caters to the East coast of the US and Europe so forget west coast employees being able to attend larger company meetings - Employees aren't able to get to know each other because anytime they aren't working on critical tasks it's frowned upon; low employee engagement - Company doesn't care about your site unless it's in the automotive segment

Pros

PTO, HR accessibility, work environment (indoors, climate control), clear chain of command,

Cons

local 'vibe' of racism, misogyny, homophobia was at odds with the progressive corporate policy, resulting in friction between 'good ol' boy' network and others. Long standing employees, those with over 5 years of experience, aren't recognized for their undocumented contributions.
