TEC is not for the creative or innovative types. There is also the constant threat of job loss at the lower mgmt levels - Manager TE Connectivity Employee Review

Pros

You get to work with people all over the world. Those managers in other countries tend to be better leaders than the ones we have here in the states. The work-life balance is generally pretty good even though I typically worked 60 hours per week.

Cons

Now is not a good time to work at TEC because they laid off thousands of people two years ago and have been bringing in directors/VPs/presidents ever since. They also have multiple consultants trying to send them in the right direction and oftentimes the leadership doesn't even listen to the consultants. In other words, TEC is always in reorginization mode and nobody seems to be able to make a decision at the sr mgmt level. It is just a matter of time before they clean house once again.

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.
