Pros

People are very friendly and nice. Senior management and CEO are honest and approachable. Can coast in same role for quite awhile if that is your thing. Campus is very open. Fully staffed gym on campus.

Cons

Has become a "good ole boys (and ladies) club" within the middle management ranks. Many managers offer little in productivity but just have been there forever. Little advancement outside of lateral moves. Career Growth focused mainly if working in the Sales divisions and/or willing to move overseas. Structured Review system seemingly varies from manager to manager. Some positions went from salary to hourly, hurting morale (though hours were not cut).

Pros

Molex is a great community. There are a wide variety of professional employees to network with. It is a very large company, but a small community.

Cons

Decisions from upper management, do not always trickle down through the organization. Not all of the departments follow the same guidelines. Case in point is remote working. different groups have different allowances. It is a small thing, but an area that could improve.

Pros

Benefits are very good for a company this size

Cons

Team is run based on last minute requests and on a lot of meetings to join leaving little time for your usual work. Director likes to devise “innovative” ways to get sales to give more information but instead it translates to chaotic management and more stress for demand planners. There are a lot of stress placed on leads for not getting their teams to get to unrealistic goals with an unsupportive sales team. There are hardly any consistent reviews for employees but it’s not unusual for employees themselves in PIPs. Overall I would say it’s a chaotic management style in this team. Pay hits industry average but not much more. Additionally there is an overemphasis on being in the office in this company because they recently invested millions in renovations so they track your badge swipes. There are really no company wide events to get people more unified other than a quarterly CEO town hall that managers force everyone to attend.
