Flexware Innovation Reviews

Pros

Flexware has come a long ways in the past couple of years to modernize the culture and compete with other tech companies. Some of these perks include open PTO, overall flexibility, and better cash bonuses. If you are getting your work done, maintaining billable hours, and keeping customers happy, then no one is going to question you. A new modern office building is in the works and will be a welcome relief from the...

Cons

As a growing company during a time when the job-market is extremely hot, it sometimes feels that employees can be stretched pretty thin. This is great for job security, but it sometimes feels that you are working on something that would be best suited for a small team rather than an individual. It would be great to see more emphasis put on working as teams for better efficiency, quality, and cohesion. The scope of...

Advice to Management

Keep staying true to our foundation and mission as the company continues to grow.

Pros

If you get hired at Flexware as an intern, you will be assigned to a project that fits your major and career as much as possible and you will, without a doubt, come out knowing more about what you want to do with your professional life.

Cons

It's a company on the smaller side so if you're looking to experience a big company this might not be the best place. However, this allows you to get more hands-on work on real projects for clients. The company is also growing quickly and it probably won't be long before it becomes a medium sized company.

Pros

The company is filled with A players who have a lot of help and advice to offer. You aren't just a consultant who generates a certain amount of revenue at Flexware. You are a part of the family.

Cons

As with any consulting company you are sometimes at the mercy of the customer who may not share the same values as your company.

Advice to Management

Keep it up! Go Dogs!

Pros

There aren't many companies that understand that they are their people, especially in the engineering services field. Flexware understands that they are nothing if their people aren't at their best, and that is evident in how they treat employees, from communication and an active open door policy, to benefits and amazing culture. The technical team is strong and really fosters growth & collaboration within the team....

Cons

In some roles it's necessary to spend significant time stationed at customer sites, and less time in the office. Being exposed to the customers work environment and culture can wear on you, especially at some of the larger customer sites. Flexware is good about flexibility on this however, and it goes a long way in building positive customer relationships. The regular meetings & events help bring everyone back together.

Pros

Extremely technical leaders who care about the development of their employees, employees are given the opportunity to learn from seasoned professionals in the engineering services industry, leadership always open to new ideas and ways to grow the company - "open door" policy, aggressively looking to grow the business and create new start-up ventures within the company, producing new opportunities for current employees...

Cons

Current employment structure and growth plan can be somewhat fluid and less defined.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work of involving and updating all staff on anticipated company growth and how this will impact us and our careers within Flexware.

Pros

As an intern, Flexware gave me more leadership and career advice than anywhere else I have been. They made sure all the interns interacted with each other in several (fun!) development days and we went on a few plant tours at other companies as well. Each development day was refreshing and the entire experience has made me a more confident engineer.

Cons

I was not always fond of the culture of the company I directly worked for.

Advice to Management

For the interns who will be placed outside of Flexware, I think you should get to know their supervisors better and also give that company some sort of structure or requirements for the summer. I believe it would have made my experience better.

Pros

Everyone is easy to get along with for the most part. They encourage open and honest communication, and not in the giant corporate sense, they really mean it. I feel I could call the CEO or my direct supervisor and be open and honest with them. The management genuinely cares.

Cons

As with any growing business, the organizational chart can sometimes become skewed. Career path is often fluid.

Advice to Management

Make sure you have a game plan for all of the employees and be clear on what they need to work on to continue growing within the organization.

Pros

Striving hard to create a great culture. Talented individuals to work with. Very strong customer base as well as technology partners.

Cons

Typical growing pains of a company trying to expand. Stretching some individuals very thin, some can pick up more slack. Individual growth and career path not always clear.

Advice to Management

Stay focused on what makes Flexware great.
