Needs to figure out what it is

Pros

You basically can't get fired, regardless of competence or malfeasance. As long as your site or department doesn't get restructured out of existence, you can ride a desk forever.

Cons

Flex is a contract EMS company trying to rebrand as an R&D company without changing anything. That means a lot of marketing-speak but little real change from the quarter-by-quarter cut-costs-at-any-cost mentality. This translates into mediocre talent, compensation, infrastructure and equipment.

Beware of old boys' buddy club and family hiring

Pros

Competitive salaries and quarterly bonus.

Cons

Work-life balance, nepotism, unfair pay and extreme lack of gender diversity among upper management. For the same title and workload, salaries can be significantly varied based on negotiation and favoritism. If one belongs to the old boys' buddy club all the way up to the executive level, that person can get promoted twice in a year vs an average person can get stuck in the same position for many years if not forever at 0%-3% merit raise. Some team and certain people within the same team can be extremely idle with minimum workload while other people or other teams can have big workload and work 60-70 hours per week - it all depends on the manager.
