Flex Employee Reviews & Ratings

low pay and not a lot of communication about the hiring process.

Too much burocracy within Sr. Management

Resources are pretty much from the factory line and they are very passive and out of common sense. Had to manage from very basic small thing that any human can do easily. If you are looking for a good and smart team members, this is a wrong place to go.

The salary could be higher

Low salary Job security Hike

Management is Partial towards certain employees

As an EMS company, the general international economic climate can negatively impact job growth adn security. Compensation could be more competitive.

If you are not getting on role after year then it is not preferable to continue.

1. Boot licking prevails 2. unfair hikes and promotions 3. Less salary

Bus issues, Managing operaters is not propered

Sometimes the promotion is subject to the current salary not the capability which is frustrated.

The biggest drawback to me was that there wasn't really a research and development department in the US that I was aware of, in spite of the fact that it is a contract manufacturing company. The closest thing was probably Multek, or interconnect technology center, which was pretty small in comparison to how large of a corporation Flex is. There is an R&D facility located in Taiwan. Another thing that I had to consider was that Flex's corporate finance follows more of the manufacturing model. So, the pay scale is affected accordingly for its employees. (min costs for production with max output)

-Minimal supervision -Minimal feedback -Minimal collaboration -Low profit margin industry

Overall the organization does not care for the people that work there. In most cases it is due to the demands of the Client, but most people are treated as robots and expected to sacrifice everything, every day or otherwise be branded as a worthless laggard. At every level of management there are people who, in a healthier work environment, would probably be spectacular but due to the amount of stress and the extreme expectations are failing miserably. Meeting the status quo is expected and moving beyond it is not encouraged. Mediocrity is the best that most can hope for and most employees are more than dissatisfied with the organization as a whole. The pay stays at about 5-10% lower than anywhere else doing the same job, the communication is horrible at all levels, employees are verbally, mentally, and emotionally abused by the Client (and sometimes internally), and as an organization meeting even the most unreasonable expectations from the Client is almost mandatory.

interesting job, good people and boss

would like the company to do better

The worse managers in the world Lots of managers sleeping with associates Horrible pay for managers No one has any backbone Managers can not be trusted

Compensation can be benchmarked to market as losing talent very easily, some key posts filled by inept people

Work culture is something to be look after . If you are in night shift things will be more worse. No shift change will be attended until you get married or get severely ill. Zero work life balance.

Low Pay.... Only good for Girls..

Salary can be better...No Recognition for talent

As a female employee, no support for Flexi timing, child care, they have crèche but don't allow timing to support that crèche,.very rigid management, very lethargic HR, no support at all.very slow career growth.

Very slim margin industry, sensitive to global economy.

Hr policies are not so effictive

No more words to tell

Slow promotion and poor assessment format.

No cons Flex continues to exceed customer expectations, creating more accounts, creating more jobs

Compensation and Bonuses are not as generous as other companies or industries, given the company's services are contract based - therefore margin profits are in the mid single digits.

Politics. See a lot of people being hired as long as they are the same nationality of the hiring manager. Same for promotions. Seems like upper management doe not notice or does not care.

Low salary for senior position

salary is less, heavy work load

Management, Internal politics, toxic work culture

low salary with low maintenance of technology, no accountability

No salary hikes or promotions The job can feel monotonous over time

-If your manager don't like you he will make sure do not grow in the organization. -If have to continuously make sure your manager is happy with you. Whatever he says you have to say "Yes". -Even if you know your process very well he will always poke you and always send you warning email for no reason, just to show management people that you are not good at your process. -Salary is not as per market standard.

No advancement if your not part of a clique...good Ole boys club. Qualifications means nothing if you are not liked by management.

Umbrella!!! Upper managements take personal and apply at work. Be careful not to be too good at what you do! If is a good manager you’ll get the credits and maybe raise or position change (but to find a good management is super slim to 0 here) otherwise you’ll end up overwhelmed with work and work til you physically hurt yourself!

Terrible location, only accesible by car

global politics are rampant and ugly. Mike Mac needs to finally do something about this culture of back stabbing... its gone on way too long.

Plant unexpectedly close and everyone was laid off

..... . . . .

Sometimes simple changes take too long When contract is done, you could be out of a job

Tight deadlines Sometimes it can get stressful

The biggest downside is the amount of time spent working at Flextronics. A 40-hour work week would be a vacation. Flextronics is pretty flexible about working from home at times (not preferred) when you have sick children or appointments. But most workers (not just managers) put in a lot of hours each week.

No able to gain any new knowledge

Offrole, nothing, all is well, great, awesome

Process unclear Culture not very healthy

Can increase the pay Politics Can improve benefits

Alot of improvement required but with very lean manpower

People depend on excel still for most of the activities , Cost cutting are done majorly on every activities , Employees will not have any general meeting with HR and HR will just act as per manager or Director instruction in all aspects. Depends on site on every activity control at GBS is at minimum level.
