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

There are no pros. Do not join this toxic company.

Cons

Leadership is fake. Not caring. Only thing they care about is fake cost savings so that they can tell the board of directors that they are saving so much money while the operators are working in sweat shops and profit margins are dwindling. They 'Want'robotics but not willing to staff. Low cost country sites are struggling while a few German locations are thiving. They have 3 headquarters to avoid taxes. Overall, it's a very shady company. I got pushed put because they wanted me to announce $100M in fake cost savings as $67M. Go lookup Tyco Electronics on Wikipedia. It's the same culture. They will lure you in with a higher salary and fake promises to only turn you into a scapegoat.

Decent Compensation.

Pros

Great benefits, good PTO, vast resources to get anything you need to do your job, pay is close to market value and flexible schedule wherever possible. The immense monolithic power of this huge corporation could have a wonderful, positive effect on the world if not for the cons below.

Cons

Money is being constantly wasted on unnecessary travel and expenses while people on the bottom are told to work harder and cut costs wherever possible. This certainly does not go unnoticed by all who's backs the entire company rests on. Many in middle / lower management pass the buck and will not give concrete answers to vital questions and sound like a politician giving evasive responses. People do not communicate important information to related parties so one hand does not know what the other is doing thus creating conflicting, self sabotaging scenarios. The few good managers are overworked and underappreciated. Arrogance is often mistaken for competence thus the wrong type of people are promoted.
