Pros

Some great people worked there.

Cons

In October of 2017 Methode acquired the company I had worked at for over 20 years, a deal that seemed to fit the direction both companies were going. We were told it would be business as usual and that these will be exciting times for the company. Within a year the first round of layoffs started, and by Jan 2019 most of the employees were told they would be out of a job. The whole process was mishandled, from the second layoff announcements with no HR support available, to the laughable severance they were offering, especially for long term employees, to the treatment of the Management that was let go. It was disappointing to say the least. A lot of hard working, good people had to make hard choices, and that is terrible. It's too bad it ended this way.

Pros

Good coffee machine. I wish I could say more, but there is nothing else.

Cons

Intolerable and unapproachable leadership. Not poor communication, its worse than poor. No new business, Methode is banned from current customers (all of them) Massive lay offs based on salary, keeping only low pay jobs and little to no experienced personnel.

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
