Pros
Great engineers, nice people, a lot of variety in work opportunities.
Cons
When I worked there they had a long hour work culture on the projects I was on. It was a newer project at the time with a lot of emphasis so it could have just been a temporary thing.

Pros
You learn a lot and most of your co-workers are awesome to work with. Paid well, and nice benefits.
Cons
Leadership is terrible, no forecasting delivered correctly & they check the badge reports to when you come and go. Lacks communication, and growth support. Crazy long hours and expected to work them.

Pros
Salary is on time, some managers are ok.
Cons
Expects to own your soul for a well below market salary. Hours are long and unpaid. Taking them back is almost impossible due to workload. Taking holidays is the same-always a new deadline. Rarely a thank you or a well done. Taking it's employees for granted.

Pros
Good learning and development Nice hike percentage Gifts on festival or event days to every employee Nice corporate social responsibilities and fun at work
Cons
Too much expectation in terms of work and expect to work for long hours everyday You will not have peace of mind and wil be in full tension if you are in procurement team as if goods are not in time in production line they escalate and giving warning to employees very badly Team meetings are taken in local language When u get offer letter they give only 30% of hike and they stick to it otherwise they openly Say check for other company... rude behaviour
4 - 5.0Aug 2, 2023Technical Program ManagerCurrent Employee, more than 10 yearsMilpitas, CA
Pros
Flex has a diverse and collaborative work environment with an international flavor. People are more focused on finding solutions to problems and less about finger pointing; people are willing to help solve problems and go out of their way to help. A generally good work environment.
Cons
Profit margins are very thin and there is increasing pressure to bring up the margins at each company site. As a result, technical and other resources are spread very thin: we are mostly 1 deep. This means long hours to support multiple programs and inability to meet commitments and customer demands. This can put our people in bad positions.
