      Pros

      This place is a haven for workaholics! You'll be swamped with tasks from day one till the day you bid farewell to the company.

      Cons

      My experience was marred by poor management and an incompetent manager. Despite the company's promising vision, the lack of effective leadership and guidance hindered any potential for growth or success. - Lacked clear communication and vision. - Failed to provide regular feedback or coaching. (When you provided feedback, the manager will reply, "Maybe you are not fit for this job and should consider finding another one?") - Made unrealistic expectations and targets with minimal resources. - The manager's manager showed favoritism and bias toward the manager. - Was unapproachable and unresponsive to concerns. - Inefficient processes and procedures. - Unclear roles and responsibilities. (Essentially, everything was your responsibility, even though there were over 100 emails and only one person to handle them.) - No opportunities for growth or professional development. - High turnover rate due to poor management.

      Thank you for your comments, suggestions, and taking the time to leave an honest review. We regret to hear that you didn't have a positive experience with us in such a short period of time. That is definitely not the experience we desire for people and this is very concerning. It is a shame to read that you were unsupported by your manager and felt overwhelmed with tasks, along with receiving no clear direction on how to improve the situation. We're truly sorry. We do take feedback seriously and can do our best to investigate. We would be interested in learning more (role, location, etc.) if you are willing to share. That would enable us to dig deeper. Please reach out to us directly at Feedback@nVent.com. We wish things didn't end on such a sour note, but do wish you much success in your next role!

      Pros

      I had a great onboarding experience - my manager was very prepared with a clear and useful onboarding plan. The people have been very welcoming and the company culture is great.

      Cons

      The company is growing rapidly, which presents natural challenges - but the overall experience has been very positive.

      Pros

      Great place to work. Very considerate of actual career and life experience rather than focusing on having a degree. Management really cares about your success personally and professionally. Top-notch focus on career development. Cohesive, cooperative teams. Fair base pay for experience, good health benefits, and decent flexibility.

      Cons

      Your experience will be deeply influenced by which location you work at and position you work in. The company has a good framework for inclusion but in reality there are unchecked local employees who make it very uncomfortable if you can't pass for right wing. Raises are inconsistent and don't seem to be determined by performance ratings. Despite having a good review every cycle, I haven't seen so much as a cost of living adjustment post - promotion.
