Pros

- Renovated HQ - Premium beverage machines, free snacks (while they last; replenished weeklyish)

Cons

Criticisms: Methode Corporate Accounting Department - staff accountant is provided with very few learning opportunities and is lead by poor lower level management - if you're tech savvy and want to improve processes, don't mention this as you will be treated as a threat by the lower-level managers - the culture within the accounting department is composed of older gossipy women, do not "complain" about them or you will be a target - lower-level managers will complain a lot about being SWAMPED with work but unwilling to share interesting work - lower-level managers are not very good at listening either... grab a chair if you have to explain something complicated because you will be standing for 30+ minutes if not

Pros

Good 401k, challenging job if you like to learn

Cons

No support from upper management. Management style of the 70's. Losing future projects with current customers, its not even funny. No internal growth opportunities, and if you are considered you will need to work 24/7, Specially when you need time off and holidays. Corporate office in Chicago is COMPLETELY detached (geographically and HR wise) from the locations that actually makes money in Mexico. History of harrassment in Mexico locations and, from the HR team. File a complaint and you will get the boot, specially if this happens in Mexico, no accountability. COO is someone that will look at you and if he doesnt like the way you look or he doesnt understand what you do, you will get fired.

Pros

None at this time unfortunately

Cons

Overworked and underpaid. They want you to do the work of 2+ people and don’t reward you for putting in the extra work. Don’t ask for a reference when you leave, and you will either by your choice or layoff, you won’t get one it’s their policy Upper management doesn’t communicate to the teams Everything is last minute making more work and late hours for everyone because the CEO can’t make a decision. Extravagant spending pay and bonuses for C-Level and they say they are saving $ by laying off people. While other companies treat their employees with respect and care during Covid Methode cuts our pay and takes away vacation time. Culture here is awful they have an outdated old school mentality. It’s a boys club. These statements are true.
