Pros

If you want to work for the 800 lb gorilla in the industry, then this is the place. Plenty of exposure and access to the EMS and Services marketplace. Opportunities to work on a wide and varied array of projects across every industry touched in any way by an electronic device.

Cons

Poor overall culture. There are multiple "silos" within "silos". Left hand often is completely unaware of what the right is doing. You will get little direction, mentoring or training here. If you're self sufficient and confident and driving your agenda, you can succeed. If you require (or just desire) and strong mgmt team to set direction and drive results, you're in trouble here.

Pros

Very friendly, as close to family as a company can get. Extremely large, so support exists for any task, even if not on site.

Cons

Long over burdened processes for capital to produce quality goods, on time. Pay for talent is lower than industry average

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.
