Pros

The Opportunity it provides for people in the H/W area in contract manufacturing. decent employers. Can work for life until retirement if people chose that way. Extra career oppurtunities for people who wanted to switch over to other cities/countries and if flextronics existed in that country/city. In my view this a key part

Cons

The working hours are Long . Not much focus on Software . Sold of the Software business part to Aricent. The employee morale is not so great especially in the software line of Business.

Pros

If you are looking for good benefit, Flextronics does provide good health, stock option, and 401k with 100% matching plan.

Cons

Flextronics have poor communication bettween management level and different teams. Lets say there are some issue on production floor, it would take the manager atleast a day later to get notify from the floor supervisor. Another problem, unless your working in the office. If you are on the floor, you'll be working on one of their 2 shifts. 5am to 1.30pm or 1.30pm to 11pm. I happen to be in the 5am shift, there are no way around, programmer have to stay whenever machine operate for support as need.

Pros

Flextronics is a well established company that has been in the semiconductor manufacturing industry for quite a long time. They are currently doing reasonably well in the market too. It is also a well organized company, providing very good employee health benefits and has helpful human resources personnel. They used to have an indoor basketball gym, not sure if they still have it :-)

Cons

I think compared to the market they do not pay that well, but they used to pay decent bonuses. Again, this is just my opinion and the general impression I had from people that I know of.
