Pros

This job use to be very interesting, chalenging and perssonally affordable. it makes me be happy, specially as I comply any project or simple tasks and those are recogniced by the Leadership team.

Cons

Lately, the company have been adressed mainly on give financial results, no matter of the people progress or dissatifaction. "if it is cheap and fast, do it, no matter what" is seems to be the current slogan.

Pros

Good soldiers in the trenches with customers. Relatively young work force compared to many Billion-dollar companies. Relatively young middle managers with a few notable exceptions (see downside of working at Sensata). Fair emphasis on work/life balance. Competitive products. Generous vacation

Cons

Too compartmentalized. Business units do not work well together, which leads to conflicts. Since multiple business units may serve one customer, this creates issues since the customer sees "Sensata" and not an individual business unit. Poor middle management is allowed to stay despite obvious signs of poor performance in simple management measurements like retention, operational efficientcy, etc. Poor product information sharing, which makes grabbing easy, low-hanging fruit business made of simple derivate product very difficult. Poor integration of recent aquisitions. Too many forced vacations. The feeling is that forced time off by the lower employees is simply a mechanism to allow senior managers to meet operating metrics and receive year-end bonuses. No sick leave. What good is generous vacation if you do not get a say in when you take it?
