Flex Employee Reviews about "layoff"

Pros

Some wonderful people to work with. Very diverse group of people.

Cons

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.

Too many layoffs (often shut cites down to move elsewhere)

Slowed Production that may cause layoff

Cons

Layoffs Lots of moving job security

Pros

I have a couple colleagues that have become friends. Many of my colleagues speak a different language and have variety of training. We have a wonderful building.

Cons

Beware joining Flex. When looking at the Glassdoor reviews be sure to filter for North American and/or NA cities. We have been and continue to go through significant change (read: layoffs). Unfortunately, the new CEO has made a weak first impression in the States. Leadership in HQ seems afraid and acting against best interest. Vice Presidents and General Managers seem to be digging into the one thing that Flex does very well: bureaucracy. The trouble is we continue to be very weak around customers and what they need. Weak around recruiting, salary and winning talent. The goal seems to be higher margin work but 1. all the high margin services have been [or are heard to be via the grapevine] cut 2. we're weighed down by brutally life draining arcane systems 3. we win by cost.

Pros

Growth opportunities and career plans

Cons

Mass layoffs due to projects shutdown

Pros

You get decent benefits. It is also a good place to start out and learn more about the manufacturing process.

Cons

Don't expect too much more compensation in the form of raises. Also the work/life balance is poor. Management is quick to throw extra duties and demand reports in an unreasonable time frame. Many people work all hours of the night from home. They are quick to blame lower level employees for lack of Revenue, but fail to praise accomplishments. Layoffs were aimed towards Senior Level employees that knew the business. Now there are a bunch of new hires who have not been trained properly and are just trying to get their feet wet.

Pros

Extensive leadership experience. Multi-functional roles. Very strong people skills.

Cons

Financial climate is driving layoffs...very bad for morale in the entire facility.
