Horrible Management

Pros

I believe there is little to be said, but if need it would be the location and the ground working level people trying to stay afloat

Cons

Top heavy management with heavy politics after TYCO merger, the management never understood the ground working level and keep changing structure within the top level which cause a ripple effect to the working level below, Constant layoff and very low morale. Use to be a good company, sorry It has gone down the drain

Joke of the town

Pros

High base pay, but zero to low increment and pathetic bonus.

Cons

- Bonus counted in weeks and days. - You have zero control of your work. Zero autonomy. - Engineering work used to be done by local team, but now it is outsourced to a certain country. - For every project you handle, there are at least 5 directors who will think you are a imbecile for what you are doing. - Every quarter there will be restructuring and movements within the company. Indirectly changing the goal post of your political game. - For every one thing you do, there are 5 internal processes to get approval. - Would always rather hire external employees to become upper management, than to promote existing employees. Probably existing employees are useless to the company.

Pros

The company benefits are good.

Cons

Poor management. No on the job training. No process , no standardization, no sop. Still living in excel world. High turnover rate. No work life balance, although you will keep receiving a lot of emails saying how the company valuated work life balance. It's a joke
