I worked at Flextronics full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – In Business Development I had a good base salary. There are a lot of smart people in the lower echelons of the company. The company was very vertically integrated in its capability.
Cons – Management is incompetent. They keep trying to fix things through trial and error methodology. Bonuses do not exist for most below VP level.
Advice to Senior Management – You will continue to lose key customers unless you get rid of most your segment managers and replace them with real account management. Your customers have told me so.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Pros – Lot of stuff and systems to learn. Interact with lots of great people in different areas. Global approach, local execution. Always more projects and things to learn and execute.

Advice to Senior Management – Make sure everyone looks in goes in the same direction.

I have been working at Flextronics full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – Many good colleagues, fast paced, opportunities to make an impact on day to day processes, very international environment allows for multi-cultural interaction.
Cons – Too many re-organizations by senior management which leads to concern over future direction. No telecommuter policy is negative as they will not really allow people flexibility to work remotely even when it is clearly in the best interest of the company.
