Pros

TE offers excellent opportunities for younger employees to work on cutting edge projects and the ability to work in different divisions that serve a wide variety of industries. Salary and benefits are good. You can gain knowledge and experience at TE that will make you very attractive to TE's competitors.

Cons

Once you have 20+ years of service, you might as well put a target on your back. Layoffs are carefully crafted to include just enough younger workers to prevent an age bias lawsuit. Management creates the layoff list, HR reviews it, then Legal has final say on who is on the list. Middle management operates solely to protect their own positions, not to do the right things. It's a job, not a career. As long as you look at it in that context, you'll be fine. Political correctness has overtaken HR. Safe Space placards, non-denominational holidays, and my all-time favorite: a Cornhole tournament during Diversity Month. I personally have no issues with workplace diversity, but I also think the focus should be on doing your job, not segregating into company sponsored Employee Resource Groups that emphasize differences.
