Tyco Reviews

Pros

1. The work environment is very friendly and even the highest management talks to the lowest workers

2. The workers are treated well with the gym, cafeteria, and other perks

3. The company vision is strong and the management is very confident in the future.

Cons

1. Sometimes the day ran long (which was fine and could have been avoided with better time management)

2. Traffic around Princeton can be brutal

Advice to Senior Management

I think the management is doing a great job. I'm excited to see what happens in the future of the company and I hope the split is beneficial for the workers and the companies

Pros

An emplyee has the freedom to perform

Cons

Lack of flow of communication from top down and also between functions

Advice to Senior Management

The uncertainity that was thus far experienced by your acquisitions now probably haunts the inhouse employees

Pros

Tyco is a company that is working to get better all the time. The way the company was formed through rapid acquisitions means that there remain substantial opportunities to get better as a company.

Cons

Very traditional structure that is often resistant to change. Too focused on quarterly results with inadequate focus on building a great company.

Advice to Senior Management

Tyco has great franchises that can be built into something special if the right perspectives on risk taking and investment for the future are better balanced against short term goals.

Pros

Decent recent reputation (several years after the scandal with the former CEO). Intelligent colleagues. Excellent bonus/incentive program. Benefits typical for comparative companies.

Cons

Pay is decent, but less than I'd made somewhere else. Medical coverage is not cheap. Up until now employees got the holiday week off, paid, but that is being discontinued going forward. Current split of the company makes job security non existent.

Pros

Very large company so have the ability to network with a lot of great people and move into different roles in many different departments.

Cons

There are no guarantees with all the current changes taking place.

Advice to Senior Management

To appreciate the hard work and long hours put in over the last several months due to company re-organization plans.

Pros

Dedicated work force with some of the better wages in South Florida.

Cons

Bonuses only offered to select few professionals. Promotions are far and few between. You are now treated as an employee, but a cost to the company. All employee "programs" are really cost savings in disguise. Very little recognition of individual or team contributions. No team building activities.

Advice to Senior Management

People are your assets, not your costs.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to lead and contribute if you're assertive.

Cons

Horrible IT systems
No true performance management system
No mandatory 360 reviews, so many duds are still around and need to be laid off

Pros

Good Benefits & Decent Pay

Cons

Upper Management only cares about delivering results to please Executives. There is total disregard for people's personal time (including LATE HOURS, WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS!). Lack of training, low morale and there is NO communication between employees and Managers!! NO place for people that have a FAMILY!!!
