Pros

- Pay is great - Team members are typically great people - Opportunity to learn about different industries, move to different functions if you are one of the fortunate high performers

Cons

- Known to lay employees off when things get rough, then be short staffed when the market improves - Lack of security in all roles due to constant restructuring - Terrible Talent Management system where only high performers are considered for promotions/lateral moves - Medical deductibles are very high, most people have a hard time affording costs - Culture of Upper level management needs to be adjusted. If one person doesn't like you, you might as well find a new job - Terrible work life balance, prepared to be on call 100% of the time

Pros

- Good mix of experience levels allow a person to grow - Constant changes to keep you on your toes - Highly diverse company - many options for advancement - Low turnover in offices

Cons

- I'm happy here, there are no cons! I've heard others complain about pay, turnover on the kitting floor, and that the free coffee machine doesn't have enough options....

Pros

- Compensation - High profit margin business so has the resources to invest - People outside the USA headquarters work hard and care - Good training ground for the competition who continue to pick up really good people that TE "hired and fired" so quickly.

Cons

- Some of the TE senior leaders seem schizophrenic (those that are still there): They're constantly reorganizing--5 times in two of the years I was there. - They are quick to fire even long-term leaders who surly must have had trouble keeping up with the businesses they run because of the constant reorgs. - When I was there, TE was investing in a lot of growth businesses or buying businesses. After a short period of time, when things were not moving at a pace the CEO wanted, he would arbitrarily cut them from the business including all the people. They seemed like knee-jerk reactions as the plugs were pulled so fast. This is also what drove a lot of the reorgs. - There was a strategic planning department, but they seemed disconnected from the business. They mainly focused on M&A--again giving an illusion of growth. - Finance couldn't give me good numbers for my budget actual spend because they were constantly reworking the books to accommodate the latest reorg. - I never understood why the Board of Directors doesn't look at the top leadership team and make changes when this same team is constantly churning the people and the org structure below them to give the illusion of progress. Look at the sales and stock price over the last 5-7 years! Why is this top leadership team still in place?
