Pros

Have a lot of friends from my years spent at Celestica in the reporting dept. A lot of smart people have left and been successful which is encouraging. The finance dept maintains a very high standard which the street appreciates.

Cons

Like many companies what they say they do, and what they actually do, is not always the same. Promotions were often political and not based on performance. People that were very poor people managers were left in the same role for way too long causing huge turnover and wasting future talent. The nature of the industry is very competitive, which requires constant restructuring so it's hard to maintain a good relationship with the employees in that environment.

Pros

nice break room but its a walk to get there

Cons

The only ppl who speak English as their first language are African Americans no white ppl there hardly unless in management or office. So the rest of the employees are H1B1 visa who dont want to or cant speak English. And they only promote women it seems and minorities on the floor, I saw a group of Asian boys working on some robotic arm so yeah no cool jobs for whites
