Pros

Tyco has a history of executing some of the most complex business transactions so it gives you the opportunity to learn in a real world environment. During my time with the company I have executed two spinoffs, shared service creation in US and LATAM as part of finance transformation, two headquarter moves (Bermuda to Switzerland to no Ireland) and now an inversion merger.

Cons

Due to the fast pace at Tyco often the details of executing management vision falls through the cracks; this is especially the case in the HR function so often you are on your own in navigating bad managers and career progression decisions. I do not view this as a major con but it may be a deal breaker for some so I am mentioning it. At Tyco you definitely have to be a self-starter who can manage your own career with little structured help or processes similar to companies like Johnson & Johnson or GE.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
