Molex reviews

No strategic direction makes getting meaningful work done difficult. Sales does not know how to sell the 'solutions' Molex is now attempting to sell because leadership has not defined what that means. Few processes and little documentation. Intellectual Property freely transferred to Asia. Inability to solve straightforward issues that have plagued the company for decades. Total lack of ownership and accountability. Merit not as important as tenure and contacts. Some very talented workers, but by and large a disorganized workplace with a very low quality staff. Several occasions of myself or others lied to or mistreated by management and HR.

High expectations and a conservative approach to headcount often lead to excessive working hours, limiting work/life balance. Overall, the Market Based Management philosophy and methodology brought over from the parent company will be a great thing when learned and applied consistently, but some management level people who have been with Molex for all or most of their long careers are big on the related buzz words, but slow to adopt the actual practice.
