Pros

Safety strongly emphasized in manufacturing sites. Paychecks, although paid in arrears, don't bounce. 401K has match.

Cons

Big company inertia with small company security. Salaries are mediocre and recruiting is done at 2nd-tier universities since they have nothing to attract top talent. Upper management is classic "old-boy" network with almost all recent top hires being ex-Motorola people. If you're a manufacturing engineer who likes a challenge, this is the place for you. If you're creative and like to think "outside the box", look elsewhere. Oh, the stock plan is a joke and options/stock grants are reserved for upper management only.

Pros

Broadly a good company if you’re in a senior decision making role.

Cons

HR policies are words only. Years go by without ability to take any PTO and carry over not allowed. Friday afternoons, all HR US employees stop working with all others working past normal business hours and into the weekend including late Friday asks to complete an action by Monday 8:00 AM that was known earlier in the week but only communicated to the employee after Friday business hours. Every Friday. Onboarding structure / sink or swim approach, no training. No sense of belonging unless you’ve worked here 20 years plus. No growth or development opportunities unless tapped on the shoulder. Many openings are never published, again tapped on the shoulder approach despite offering to volunteer. Dismissive company culture. Every Voice Counts initiative is code for: if you do share your voice, you are on a list to not consider for promotion or any projects that would give you more visibility across the organization to foster one’s growth.
