Tyco Safety Products – “Don't work here.”

Pros

There are really no good reasons to work there. The products are high quality and there are some good brands, so it is a real shame the company is terrible.

Cons

The senior management in country is interested only in maintaining their own positions and not making the right decisions for the business. There is a culture of mistrust where experienced local Chinese employees who have spent many years building the business and making millions for the company are being "put in their place." The focus is definitely on CYA and not on doing the right thing. This is part of the overall poor management globally of TSP. Luckily for them, the only other large company in this business is an even worse place to work (at least in China). Good riddance.

Advice to Senior Management

Start listening to the employees.
