TE Connectivity reviews

Do not care about employees, disposable, use until they wear out. Never satisfied with output, put in long days everyday for product being moved overseas. Then when they are moved, they show you the door. Morale is lowest seen in 30 some years! Management does not get it, people losing livelihood to Mexico, India, and China and Management does not understand why they are upset and morale is so low.

Performance review system is an absolute joke, as a manager of a department I hated the process and complete inability to rewards high performers. I was forced to penalize "good" people in order to rewards those that were "superior". And worse if you are paid more than others in your department for example, an engineer in a department of draftsmen, if you deserve a higher raise, the rest of the department has to suffer disproportionately in order for you to get the raise you deserve. It is an awful situation for a manager. The stress of continuous layoffs and rehiring is constant. You can never relax and feel your job is sucure, because it never is. HR is an extension of management, not a representative for the employees. There is no balance of the two at all. There are exceptional HR reps, but they are few and in my experience they leave the company quickly. Restructuring is constant. Senior management is a good ole boy network. You either get in with the right connections or you have no hope of management advancement.
