Pros

Fast career advancement if you're capable, with good work ethic and get lucky. I've been all 3 at various times in my career here. Salary after a few years is at least competitive and work-life balance is pretty good. Opportunities for training is good too.

Cons

If you're not lucky or very, very motivated you can easily stagnate in your career here. Colleagues have spent long stretches in the same job title and salary (5-10 years in some cases). And these are capable, diligent employees. Job security is fairly low, but it depends at which site you're working. Management is still out of touch and treats employees like children at times.

Thanks for taking the time to write about your Teleflex career. You made some good points about what it takes to advance at Teleflex, and I think your observations would be true at most companies. People do need to take the initiative to let their manager know about their career aspirations. We offer many opportunities to do that at Teleflex through monthly progress reviews, individual development plans and a variety of training programs for people at all levels. It's great that you are feeling empowered in your new role.

Pros

Nice colleagues. Excellent product portfolio. Lots of collaboration within the teams. Salaries are OK. Good benefits. Nice offices in Reading.

Cons

Senior management may show more interest in the people who truly do all the work. It is hard work and the focus is mainly on profit, less on employees wellbeing. Hierarchical. Mostly men in the top positions.

Pros

I love working in IT. While the company is striving to unite it's businesses and departments through common Core Values, the IT department, commits at a whole other level. There are plenty of opportunities to have fun at work or at an IT social.

Cons

Having grown so much through acquisition, rationalizing systems through such a large and geographically diverse organization is daunting. The CEO, Benson Smith, has done wonders for the stock, but is stuck in the dark ages on such topics as remote working, realistic perspective of diversity in leadership, and transparency with the average coworker.

Thanks for your comment. Our IT function really is great. Benson Smith does listen to the workforce. He is highly visible in company meetings and open to dialogue in global town meetings. You may not agree with his answers but you can't fault him for hiding from the tough questions.
