Pros

The culture and the people are great. nVent really encourages innovation and DEI in a way most companies only pretend to. Benefits and policies are better than industry average. Myself and the people around me genuinely enjoy working here and attitudes are positive. nVent builds real community without the fake "we're a family" sentiment. Lots of opportunities for career growth and learning.

Cons

nVent has some serious growing pains with lots of acquisitions and organic growth. Mostly outdated and simplistic systems and processes that struggle to "keep up" with the immense amount of growth. Offices are bursting at the seems. Being a global company has perks, but it really destroys work-life balance when I need to be available at all hours of the day for international calls.

Cons

The company is growing rapidly, which presents natural challenges - but the overall experience has been very positive.

Pros

Great place to work. Very considerate of actual career and life experience rather than focusing on having a degree. Management really cares about your success personally and professionally. Top-notch focus on career development. Cohesive, cooperative teams. Fair base pay for experience, good health benefits, and decent flexibility.

Cons

Your experience will be deeply influenced by which location you work at and position you work in. The company has a good framework for inclusion but in reality there are unchecked local employees who make it very uncomfortable if you can't pass for right wing. Raises are inconsistent and don't seem to be determined by performance ratings. Despite having a good review every cycle, I haven't seen so much as a cost of living adjustment post - promotion.
