Flex Employee Reviews & Ratings

Not sure... all projects come with similar challenges. I really enjoy the people I work with.

Still presents serious opportunities to improve satisfaction oriented customer mentality where their customer service department in Mexico is still far from reaching maturity and solid service mentality. There is still a room to improve. They have everything to do and succeed, they just need to believe and start. Also many of the Programs Managers not really know the contractual terms

Limited growth opportunities or promotions

Was not with them long enough to find any Cons. Seemed to have their act together, and error on the side of the customer.

Contractually at the mercy of the client. The client dictates and funds all aspects of business operations, which at times means working with your hands tied. The per store head count staffing model needs to be updated. Little to no flexibility when it comes down to employee turnover or employee's taking vacation or calling out sick - impacts work/life balance. Front line customer service reps are underpaid for work that is done.

No proper guidance from Top mgt

there is nothing as such to feel

Some will felt very stressful for those new comer. Once adapt to the culture, nothing is impossible.

The salary which was told before the interview was different and the salary given was different

Needed more time with each student

Never actually get the benefit of global resources

Very cold some nice workers there but lots very clangy

need to improve management and hierarchy

management not that good

Bad management Bad Promotion No Salary Slab

They grind you to the bone and expect more from you than is possible. Very cut throat industry and very political internally makes it difficult to get things accomplished.

Nothing as such, everything is good

Low margins mean lower pay for middle-managers. When a customer departs, often an internal layoff occurs. This is common with a lot of contract manufacturing companies. Flex tries to protect their workers, but engineers in product groups are especially prone to layoffs when a customer's business goes south.

(locally) Poorly managed resulting in cancelled project after significant cash discharge. Inexperienced in business skills as well as lack of planning.

less pay and less appreciations

Horrible communication from the top all the way down all purchasing is a nightmare Upper management doesn't listen to anything the employee's say and on multiple occasions have seen employee's moved off their lines for saying any constructive criticism

IT support is mostly in India. Support for CAD tools is in India, and they don't seem to understand the day to day use that engineers put the CAD tools to. Each group seems to be very separate from other groups. So, the same problem could be being addressed by multiple groups rather than collaborating. Very short term cost focused.

the mean customes were the only problem

salary- low income at the end of the month people- dumb people to handle with

Few career possibility, inadequate mentoring culture

nothing to say better to work here

Poor pay packages at lower grade Upper Middle Management is not helpful and useful to the employee Top management is tough to approach towards improvements and career enhancements (A few and not all).

far away from city. People are fired asap when sales are going down.

Depending on the job, you may have to travel a lot. There is politicking in higher management that you just have to live with. The work areas get shuffled and rearranged pretty regularly.

The leadership is up and down on how they plan to grow

Freedom and peaceful at working place

Nothing much Cons with respect to organization. Monetary benefit can be improved as per market value.

Chaotic and unorganized at times. Weak team members not held accountable.

It is a very fast paced environment and Flex responds to markets and customer demands quickly. This can mean that a critical project is no longer critical and something else has taken its place. Not for folks who want consistent and structured jobs.

COmpletely unethical behaviour from senior divison management favoring friends and family over hard working team members treating flex as a family business for their own use rather than a shareholder company

Not really organized. Upper management doesn't really communicate well with clients and has no business skills to run the whole projects. If you want to get some experience, it is ok place. However, not more than that. Flextronics is a manufacture company but trying to be innovative and trying to be a leader in the tech market.. However, at the end it is a manufacture company.

So many management layers to have a proposed solution heard.

Unflexible working hours, below average annual wage increment

No as such that I found

Inability to weed out underperforming team members.

Always short staffed, always in a hurry to get thing done with not enough people to get it done.

* Salary and benefits * Processes to be improved

Managers & leads play favourites

Be prepared to committ 110% with little or no effect; environment way too customer-oriented, people feel irrelevant and belittled.

Schedule, only 2 breaks on 12 hour shift.

Like most manufacturing companies they are very concerned about the cost of IT. Thus more and more moved to low cost regions replacing US based employees.

lack of Career Opportunities

Low pay. Company speaks on how they are not a contract management company however when promoted they state they are a contract management company so their pay reflects that and it will be low in comparison with other jobs in the Bay Area. Benefits are not that good for being in the San Jose area. Low Pay, Expensive Benefits = Less take Home. 401k is subpar. Company Discounts are not that good especially with the companies we work with. Pushed to Layoff when you cannot afford to lose someone. Now are scrambling to do our work. Not allowed for overtime even though we layoff. Some things just don't make sense. If I find something else I will have to step away.

Not so good work environment

I did not have any cons in flex
