Pros

Flexible hours, work with many technologies

Cons

It's a Koch Company. MBM is a load of BS. Don't believe the education tuition reimbursement. I submitted my paperwork to my manager, and he flat out told me that the company wouldn't even consider my Masters in Software Engineering. He didn't even try to submit the paperwork. Things all depend on who your manager is, I suppose. I started out with a really good one, and ended up with an inexperienced and really bad one that only looked out for their own best interest.

Pros

The company, worldwide as a whole is a very good company to work for. They have great benefits and vacation time.

Cons

The area I work at TBO (Tampa Bay Operations) has very questionable management and the employees at the facilities are very unhappy and disgruntled.

Pros

The products, capabilities and engineering design of Molex is actually incredible. They have fantastic manufacturing facilities and maintain very high quality standards.

Cons

The leadership in the sales area is very incompetent. Many of the VPs have been promoted simply due to luck and NOT because of skill. In many cases they were just at the right place at the right time, For example, one individual was assigned to CISCO and made a big name for themselves when very large orders came through. They did nothing extraordinary, but were promoted as if they had actually generated the business out of thin air. Now a VP, this individual's lack of depth, required for this role, causes more harm to the company than they know. Anyone at CISCO at the time would have gotten the job done. Maybe even a trained monkey, but because the order's were large dollar volume the person got "rewarded" not on ability or talent, but on the basis of numbers. This type of person does not necessarily make a good candidate for promotion and in this case it did not. They were much more competent as a sales person, but terrible at being a VP or leader. Sadly, Molex has more of these types of "leaders" and they do cause harm.
