Pros

Gym in Lisle is nice. The pay is reasonable to good. Some opportunity to travel internationally. Some training and development opportunities.

Cons

No strategic direction makes getting meaningful work done difficult. Sales does not know how to sell the 'solutions' Molex is now attempting to sell because leadership has not defined what that means. Few processes and little documentation. Intellectual Property freely transferred to Asia. Inability to solve straightforward issues that have plagued the company for decades. Total lack of ownership and accountability. Merit not as important as tenure and contacts. Some very talented workers, but by and large a disorganized workplace with a very low quality staff. Several occasions of myself or others lied to or mistreated by management and HR.

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.
