Pros

There are none besides leaving early if you fix a certain amount of laptops before end time.

Cons

Honestly, if you believe you have the talent to fulfill the job, look elsewhere. This company is so unorganized and unprofessional. From day 1, you can see how unorganized the place is. I was trained incorrectly and had to learn everything from other techs. Your work space is tiny (smaller than a jail cell). People are always stealing your work tools, which has zero resolutions even if you tell a supervisor. Pay raise? Forget about it. I worked for 6 months with one pay raise, which became the base pay a month later. They basically told me to suck it up and do better so I could earn the raises. You have to nearly be perfect to receive a single dollar raise. When you bring it up to management, they never get back to you. The engineers that are in place to help are arrogant, yet ignorant. If you care about finding a place to work that’s worth your time, I suggest anywhere else.

Pros

Technical work is satisfying. Co-workers that are good to work with. There is one or two good customers a year. But this changes. Every year colleagues leave or are let go. Customers have become frustrated with our process and slower pace. Innovation was once a priority.

Cons

I'm writing this review because despite a new CEO (Advaithi; thank you for taking the time to visiting locations and congratulations on the role), morale remains low and the context continues to become worse. First, we're being beat by our competitors. Lost deals and customer feedback. Second, there is total leadership confusion around important innovation and technology development. We've lost 3-4 great leaders in the last year. In Plano we had a GM that was moved out. In Boston they have had about 4 GMs in three years! The most recent one, albeit nice and engaging, only has an apparel background. Low approach management. Flex closed the San Fran office. Milipitas has been shifted, reorged and impacted by layoffs. Word from the grapevine is that our amazing Design Team in New Hampshire will be cut and moved to Plano and Italy. The point is... there is confusion and not a lot of confidence. We make do.
