"Worked for this company for a few years. Do your research before working for this company. Over the last 5 years they have laid off workers every year. Good, intelligent people with 20+, or 30+ years, were given their walking papers, as well as some with much less years of service. This has not just been going on for the last 5 years either. I spoke to people who won't apply for a job at TE, because they know they are constantly laying off workers. You truly are just a number when you work for this company. I knew a guy who received an impact bonus signed by the top divisional manager, and a promotion in the same year, only to be laid off 3 months later. They also use creative techniques to get around the work laws. There have been people laid off on a Friday with the rest of their group, and then a "younger" guy, or two (read that as under 50) were brought back into the company the following Monday. Sure, there are a couple who are in the right place at the right time, and can make it to retirement, but you roll the dice as time goes by. Older workers cost money to insure and pay. If you are young this company can be a good spring board to better places to work, but I would not sign up with this company looking for a long term career. I met a lot of good people working there, and still have good relationships with them. Management is a bit shaky from the top all the way down. For example, management decided to pump millions of dollars into the Whisper products only to find it was very difficult to manufacture, and very expensive to make. Customers didn't need to pay the high cost when competitors had products for today's market that were good enough, and much cheaper. They also tipped their hand to the competition trying to release it to the market so the competition now all knows what to shoot for, and has plenty of time to design a better product. Their big money maker will probably end up with lower margins."
