Stay away from this company

Planner (Current Employee)
Milpitas, CA (US)

I have been working at Flextronics full-time for less than a year

ProsNone. I'm only giving 2 stars which this company does not deserve because there are some people out there who like coming in to work to collect a pay check. Well, if that is the case, this is the place for them....no thinking required, just show up!

ConsPeople that have no common sense, no initiative, low quality of people, uneducated employees, politics, clueless employees, foul language, run-down office building and facilities

Advice to Senior ManagementFire the PMs and replace them with educated and professional ones

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Test technician

Technician (Former Employee)
Stafford, TX (US)

I worked at Flextronics full-time for more than 7 years

ProsOne of the best supervisors that I've had seen embedded in the middle management. Cannot say much about the other management levels, but mine acts more as mentor and coach than supervisor. Great place to learn new technologies, my supervisor is the only one that pushes me into positions that allows me to grow with the company.

ConsOther careers paths within the company pretty much goes stagnant and offers not much of growth and advancement.

Advice to Senior ManagementNeed to know more of who's working for you rather than to only allow what your employees were originally hired to do.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Not what was promised

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)

I worked at Flextronics full-time for more than a year

ProsGood training and experience potential working in a rapid paced Verizon Wireless retail location. Opportunities to meet the occasional celebrity, Ralph Macchio, Mick Foley, etc.

ConsNo pay raise or opportunity to advance over the 2 years I worked there. The only way to make more was overtime at other locations.

Advice to Senior Managementgive raises to people who deserve it and motivation will return. It's tough to want to work harder when the guy next to you is slacking and making more.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Good place to work and grow

Program Manager (Current Employee)
Guadalajara, Jalisco (Mexico)

I have been working at Flextronics full-time for more than a year

ProsAs a big company it has several areas to work and grow, from eingineering to management. HR and upper managemet woorking for it to be a good place to work. Coffe areas, even a little super market inside.

ConsHR is not that flexible and have to check in check out even in Management positions, a lot of Micromanagemet. Some times overtime is not valued as something extra, more of a must do.

Advice to Senior ManagementImprove management reviews for employees and reduce ongoing Micromanagement.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
