Pros

Hope is that TE can do no worse than what current Deutsch management has done with Oceanside. Hard to say what TE is really like since management withholds all information and participation with TE for regular employees.

Cons

Two words: people issues. Deutsch has long suffered due to poor morale and low pay across the board. There are even supervisors and managers who work multiple jobs to make ends meet. Failure to attract and retain good employees and high turnover even in recent years. Future is bleak when good young talent come and leave once they get better job offers. Only those who can't find jobs elsewhere are left running the place. Most of the management are very underqualified and don't show any traits of being a leader. Current management is living off the reputation and legacy of the old Deutsch company. Management just does enough to get by with their new TE masters and are waiting to hit retirement age. This gives no opportunity for anybody to move up at Oceanside. All these people issues lead to zero motivation, poor product quality, angry customers, no new products, and a poisonous work environment.

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.
