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.

Good Company to work for ... a bit too lean.
