Flex Employee Reviews & Ratings

Bureaucratic nightmare. Everything was so slow. Takes forever to get anything done. Lots of the workers there really don't care about their work or the company.

Poor HR policies, pay scale not on par with the industry (freshers in software companies get paid more than experienced folk here) No proper future scope for supply chain roles, many are moving to IT

Not much benefits at all; health premium plus family OUT-OF-PACKET MAX of $10,000 or more is obscured. No voluntarily retirement package, but instead forcing you to quit or unhappy with work environment.

Too much bureaucracy and too slow in decision making

Lay off should be decided based on performance

There are no any flaws as such at the moment

Salary needs to be increased

The pay is not as good comparing to other companies with the region

Not good package when compared to other IT companies.

N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A

Not good for freshers- who will working in the old technologies.

Currently, there aren't any cons...

less on site opportunity. old ERP System.

No much company values.. do not care with employees welfare

- intermediate temp agency -

Nothing to say, is a great company

Need to increase salary standard. All the other things are satisfactory.

Constant layoffs keep you worried. Projects come in and once a process has been setup, the project moves overseas while the vast majority of employees are let go. The industry is very up and down.

This was once a great company, but the previous owner stopped investing in the business before it was sold to Flex. As a result the equipment is outdated, and the building is seriously over crowded. Any kind of company culture is non existent. Now where to sit during break or lunch, had to sit down on any chair I could find, and one chair broke while I was sitting on it. This is the first place that I have worked where they do not provide prescription safety glasses, as a result if you need to wear prescription glasses you have to wear your everyday glasses or go out and buy your own. Also I have seen one of the ladies that works in the front office walking around in the shop wearing flip flops instead of safety shoes.

Night shifts are often provide to 90% of people

You want stress? They got stress. You want work life balance? I wish you luck. TL;DR Flex has a terrible culture and work environment. In Memphis they do 3rd party logistics (3PL). That means doing contract work for Flex to provide services for big name brands at rock bottom prices. Upper management underbids contracts to win them and then overworks everyone to try to fulfill them. 10-20% of the people do about 80-90% of the work. Middle management's main job is to make excuses to customers and upper management for why Flex can't deliver at the level they agreed to in the first place. SPOILER: It's because upper management agreed to deliver Ferrari results on a Fiat budget, but saying that out loud is just a different way of saying "I wish to resign my position effective immediately." So no one does. Everyone is in it for the money and everyone in middle and upper management is exclusively in it for themselves. The half-life for management is 6 months to a year. Flex will never change this business model and that is why these contracts and the Memphis site are doomed to failure or perpetual struggle. Flex closed all of their other service sites across the country. Memphis is the last one, and it is always hanging on by a thread. There is one main account keeping that site alive, and that account has been on life support for like 20 years. They are almost always talking about pulling the plug. If you know, you know. Flex and its customers have no problem working anyone to death if you let them. Their pandemic response is proof of that. They made people they could have easily let continue to work from home come back in way too soon and a lot of people got COVID-19 that did not have to as a direct result of that. As usual, Flex lied about it and claimed no one got COVID-19 inside the building, but of course they would say that. The State of Tennessee passed liability protections designed to protect businesses from COVID-19 lawsuits in the Summer of 2020 right after Flex Memphis made everyone come back on site. They do not care if you die because they can't even be sued if their negligence gets you killed by COVID-19 thanks to Tennessee's crooked government. Outside of IT, it is not a good idea to try to stay there long term. Doing so could literally destroy your life. IT does pretty well, but the overall environment is not the best in part because everyone hates their job since it is impossible to meet the demands with any consistency, and in part because their senior leadership is hired and retained based entirely on their willingness and ability to ignore reality, smile, and lie through their teeth about anything and everything.

People mgt is not upto the mark

Unless you have a degree or know someone well within the company your pay will never be good . There's alot of micro managing, little to no discipline on individuals who can not do there job, There is more bad than good, I would list it all but then it would be ranting. All I can say is get in use it to get your feet wet and get out.

Recently Flextronics decided to retrenched a total of 1400 employees in Shah Alam plant. It was a bad hit to all of us who were employed under Flextronics.

Lack of compensations and benefits

Chairs removed from employee work areas for a better appearance.

Not enough experienced people to guide us

Entry salary is average. No allowance for transport.

Not enough Money and long work days

Adherence of policy is lagging

No travle options. Bad food in cafteria

to learn the new thing

The workload is really heavy, for a period I had about 60hs of overtime monthly (beyond the normal 45hs weekly). Some people get really stressed due the pressure for results (this made me mature a lot and learn how to deal with it, but some people get really bad for that, even sick). The food they offered in the company's restaurant was really bad, many people (including myself) brought food from home - some days it was impossible to eat the food offered. The food was a huge problem for me, I spent a lot of money eating out or a lot of work bringing food from home.

Not much salary hike Hike for famous persons (performance appraisal)

Lack Management attention in key area, PM support is very limited on many programs, each function manager not involve too much in the customer relation

low efficiency, too many talking

Bad management lots of favoritism

If you good performer then you will survive

Very unorganized, bad management, unprofessional, cannot wear/have any metal, cannot have cell phone on person.

The work is considered fast-paced so it can be stressful at times.

Lack of strategic planning and resource planning. Lack of employee recognition for jobs well done. Advancement opportunities are far and few between. Does not scope customers needs well in the beginning of the relationship.

No cons at the flex

Low pay less than Industry

* Increments could be better * Promotions could be better

no new learnings.not providing good salary

No cons to say as such

Many still stuck in the past

On boarding process is horrible. It is by far the worst I have ever experienced. For example: Areas you are responsible for are not communicated to you and you can be blind sided. Medical benefits are out of line with the local area. They are at least 20%-30% higher in cost with less coverage. Make sure you pay close attention to that if you are interviewing cover it with your salary negotiation. (I did not, don't make the same mistake I did) Some departments are caught between Flex and the customer with no support (or perceived lack of support) from upper management at Flex. (especially in the reverse logistics arena). The data retrieval systems are sometimes inaccurate unless you know all the tricks to make them work. (these tricks are not given to new employees). You must be ready for micro management from the customer base sometimes to the detriment of Flex putting the manager squarely at odds with whom to support in the decision making. If you are in management expect that upper management are in constant contact with the customer having meetings and agendas you may not be aware of or are not communicated effectively to you. Expect multiple interpretations of expectations from the customer to the outside management structure on what your priorities are and how to solve issue. Customers will move resources at the plant level without notification to flex management making it difficult to plan or implement ideas. (you never know when your resources will be reallocated). As a manager expect to be left out of the loop on decisions or direction. You have to know what your staff will be before taking a position. Make sure it is what you expect. Sometime you will be left with a department that has no or limited resources.

Need to additional responsibilities to project your self

too many requirement from every department tight schedule
