Pros

Flextronics offers quite a bit of opportunity for growth and development for those who earn it. I've been promoted twice in 2.5 years. They also offer many global project teams for employees to participate in. That said, it's not in a clear, career-mapping, kind-of way. Usually, promotions seem to be a result of an individuals hard work.

Cons

The biggest downside is the amount of time spent working at Flextronics. A 40-hour work week would be a vacation. Flextronics is pretty flexible about working from home at times (not preferred) when you have sick children or appointments. But most workers (not just managers) put in a lot of hours each week.

Pros

Large Scale, Reach and Thin Margin company. If you are in to PCB, Plastics, Mechanical and Bending Metals - This is the place for you. Treats employees well and compassionate.

Cons

Large EMS companies treat employees as dispensable and like a factory worker (Layoff is way of life within the walls of this company). Not a place for development engineer. No innovation, management is interested in arbirtrage of component buying to shore up 3% profit with huge revenue but slim Gross Margin when compared to Google, CISCO.
