Pros
The Connected Mobility Solutions and Connected Vehicle Solutions groups are making great strides in building the foundation for autonomous vehicles. They are moving quickly and have strong leaders in place. The workplace is respectful and the campus in Lisle is very nice and work spaces are being refreshed to show the company's new momentum. I was dubious about the Market Based Management business approach, but after a year of seeing it in action, I am impressed by the commitment to the guiding principles and continuing education they provide to ensure every employee has access to the information they need to succeed and are applying their skills in meaningful ways.
Cons
The IT infrastructure is archaic; they are still using IE and Outlook and block access to webmail. The good news is that the disruptive and emerging business units are willing to deviate from the standards to move quickly and get things done, which includes streamlining the software dev and PMO tools and process. If you go to management and demonstrate that you need a new tool, they are willing to listen. The biggest problem these business units will have is delighting the automotive customer. They always want a unique flavor of product and to make it half the size that it needs to be. But Molex has a dedicated team that is willing to move mountains.
