Pros

It is a paycheck at least

Cons

There are many things wrong with Flex and its executive team. The CEO and others say they really care about employees yet had layoffs and shutdown some facilities right before the holidays. What does the CEO care. Her comp package in FY22 was over $10M. Also completely tone deaf by talking about her big family trip during the holidays after just laying off many employees. Also the company says it is focused on making great products that improve people’s lives. What a joke. They will make any product as long as they can make money even if it definitely does the opposite of improving lives.

Pros

The people and engineering / manufacturing processes. As long as customers are paying for you directly or selling a lot of the products you are supporting, the middle management and fellow employees are generally good-natured, smart, and honorable. All of my managers were smart people with good integrity. However, there was a lot of turnover with my managers.

Cons

Engineering job security. CM's don't make their own products and have very low margins, so an engineer's employment is entirely dependent on their particular customer's product success with Flex. Should the customer move Flex sites, cancel the product, or move their business to a competitor, your job will be in great jeopardy. Most of the VP's don't understand or know how to sell engineering capability. If a customer leaves, executive leadership won't keep you & your team around for 6 months to find another customer. Too expensive and no margin to pay for the lulls. Like a contract services company, Flex hires and lets go of employees more frequently.
