Pros

If you are looking for good benefit, Flextronics does provide good health, stock option, and 401k with 100% matching plan.

Cons

Flextronics have poor communication bettween management level and different teams. Lets say there are some issue on production floor, it would take the manager atleast a day later to get notify from the floor supervisor. Another problem, unless your working in the office. If you are on the floor, you'll be working on one of their 2 shifts. 5am to 1.30pm or 1.30pm to 11pm. I happen to be in the 5am shift, there are no way around, programmer have to stay whenever machine operate for support as need.

Pros

Health, dental, vision, and 401(k) were quite good.

Cons

Flex tolerates a toxic work culture from their most senior leaders. My director, literally, yelled at me daily, usually throughout the day. He physically grabbed me and forced me in the direction he wanted me to move. He threatened to fire me or replace me at least once a week. I went to the then director of HR who did absolutely nothing. After she was let go I went to her successor who told me there was no record of me speaking with HR before. And she did nothing. Unable to tolerate the work environment, I left. The company doesn't take safety seriously. We had shelving collapse resulting in an employee needing medical attention. The person tasked with designing and building storage has no training, no mechanical background, and no analysis is being performed to validate if the storage can hold 1,000+ pounds. There's no budget for professionally designed storage and, again, I was threatened for raising this as a concern. I learned today this same director is continuing to use me as a scapegoat despite me no longer working there.
