Flex Program Manager reviews

Super slim margins mean very little support in general. IT and general support are not that great, the CM industry often steals customers from one another, so it's tough to build long term relationships. Working in the US is in large part transferring product to Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe.... leading to many frustrating situations. There is very little company-wide in terms of career development. Once you hit middle management, you are waiting for someone to quit or transfer to another position. There is also a very odd relationship between corporate management and the individual manufacturing sites. Often the sites get stuck trying to work around bonehead corporate decisions. Similarly sales and customer management is very muddled. Sites need to pull in sales, but high level customer management is done by the corporate knuckleheads. Often times decisions are made by people without any real stake in the game since they don't have to deal with the impact of their decisions.

Big company, geographically distributed leadership. Mantra is to move faster than the competition, at many levels of management red-tape feels counter to that mantra.
