Pros

The quality of the people.

Cons

We've had a few quiet years of autonomy after an acquisition by Flextronics. Bit by bit they are taking over (as excepted and fair enough) but it is not happy times. If you imagine working for a Human-Factors, Design or Engineering company: STOP! This is a 200k person brutal manufacturing machine (that happens to be not doing so well). The business outlook does not look good.

Farm Design Response

Thank you for providing your feedback. Since Farm joining Flex in 2015, we have gradually integrated our processes with Flex in an effort to improve our operational efficiencies and business practices. These changes can be challenging at times and we continue to make every effort to ensure that these changes are positive for our business and employees at Farm. We believe the amazing and creative work that we do day-to-day remains the same as before Farm was acquired and we continue to place a strong emphasis on our unique culture and work-life-balance. For over four decades, Farm employees have appreciated the transparency that management provides and leadership is committed to working together with our employees to make Farm a great place to work. We welcome the opportunity to address your concerns and our management doors are always open as they always have been. Darrin Manke Farm GM
