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

Health, dental, vision, and 401(k) were quite good.

Cons

Flex tolerates a toxic work culture from their most senior leaders. My director, literally, yelled at me daily, usually throughout the day. He physically grabbed me and forced me in the direction he wanted me to move. He threatened to fire me or replace me at least once a week. I went to the then director of HR who did absolutely nothing. After she was let go I went to her successor who told me there was no record of me speaking with HR before. And she did nothing. Unable to tolerate the work environment, I left. The company doesn't take safety seriously. We had shelving collapse resulting in an employee needing medical attention. The person tasked with designing and building storage has no training, no mechanical background, and no analysis is being performed to validate if the storage can hold 1,000+ pounds. There's no budget for professionally designed storage and, again, I was threatened for raising this as a concern. I learned today this same director is continuing to use me as a scapegoat despite me no longer working there.
