Pros

Flexible working environment, most people around are nice and pleasant. Pay is OK. If you are looking for improving your competency in managing ambiguity. This is the company you should join.

Cons

The HR organization is unbelievably incompentent in Tyco Electronics, no matter globally or in China. The CEO Tom Lynch seems not have realize that if the HR organization is not undergoing significant restructure, there is notway for the company to move to the next level when HR organization is left far behind. Many people are superised and shocked by seeing the dummiest and fake HR leadersstanding up there presenting totally non-value and meanless information. Some of them can not even talk logically.

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.
