Poor Company to Work For
|
|
-Not very much OT- people come in at 8 sharp and leave at 5 sharp.
|
This review is for Amphenol RF in Danbury, CT. I can only speak for my own experience. To me, overall it was a very unpleasant company to work for. Some details:
When I joined the company, management stated that entrepreneurs do well at RF. But they appear to not know the word’s meaning. They enforce the rulebook (very old school mentality), and do not promote or invest in innovating. Because manufacturing was moved almost entirely overseas, you mostly spend time dealing with the overseas factory that make the connectors, who are flaky and unmotivated to collaborate and make a good product. When the company has success that you helped build, I don’t think they appropriately compensate you for it. It took record setting and truly enormous profit to get a small bonus, pizza/cupcakes and little gift bag things with cheap Amphenol branded items.
Employee morale is low, and some are openly vocal about it. Many, many program managers have left. Nearly entire teams took jobs elsewhere including the full engineering team over 2 years, including a majority of the most senior members. Some positions at the company are revolving doors.
Largest grievances:
1. Facilities and Employee Treatment
RF is in a terrible, ugly, outdated facility. The office and machine shop are side by side, causing many problems. Due to the very odorous shop oils getting into the ventilation, and staining carpets, even office workers leave work smelling of oil. It saturates clothes, hair, and car interiors. Your nose will become acclimated so that you can’t smell it anymore. Until you are jolted when you return on Monday AM, or your partner tells you to take a shower. How does it pass inspection, good management, or common sense? There was an air filter in the lunch room but it disappeared. One day a former employee visited and noted that you can never forget that smell. There is a lackluster EH&S culture at RF, starkly in contrast to other CT engineering/manufacturing companies.
The office is often too cold, even in the summer. This is due to the inappropriate facility RF is in. The thermostat is under lock and key, only accessible by someone everyone is afraid to deal with. People wear sweaters but have cold hands and bring in space heaters (but not too many allowed because that could blow the circuit). Upper management have heated offices. Cleanings are rare so it’s a dusty office. There is lots of junk lying around, and once I saw a dead mouse in the office. Want a new keyboard? Might take a while as you will have to deal with Mr. Thermostat.
2. GM and HR
The GM is very old school (Fox News often plays in his office on big TV) and HR does just what he says. Policies are not in line with the times and it has cost the company. A big source of conflict was the WFH policy, even before vaccines arrived. Most workers can do 100% of their job from home, and business set record profits, but at some point WFH was canceled for everyone. Everyone in the office, every day. To set an example, the GM would come in when he was recovering from something. For employees, if a babysitter can’t come or your partner needs to use your car one day, tough luck, you have to burn PTO.
Eventually, things like this caused attrition. One very good and respected employee got a job offer elsewhere and tried negotiating with RF to allow him more WFH time. Despite his good service and record, management was unwilling to negotiate, and the employee left, bitterly disappointed. Apparently one employee put in their two weeks notice, but were simply told to leave the same day. Presumably due to the attrition, the WFH rule was updated to allow 1 day of WFH per week. But your chosen day could not include Monday or Friday!
Lastly, to celebrate a big RF milestone, the GM decided to present a self-centered slideshow focused largely on his career progression over the decades. It included what song topped the charts each particular year of his tenure, and who was in the Super Bowl. It became the source of much chatter amongst employees, with some self-pitying, but also because it was tone-deaf enough to fit perfectly in “The Office.”

Change management, improve office location, focus on the employees, and not just yourself. Don't make the company solely focused on squeezing more pennies from Chinese and Mexican made products. Invest in actual innovation and company culture.

Poor Management
|
|
Pay was good and I liked the travel
|
Management doesn't know what they are doing. I was given my yearly bonus, then weeks later my review with raise. Approx. 2 weeks after that they laid several employees off.
I applied for positions throughout several months. The interviews went great. Once it got to upper management I was no longer being considered. No explanation was given as to why.
