Test Manager - Test Engineering Manager Foxconn Employee Review

Good compensation and the strong team.

No any downside at this company

+ A lot of variety in the work. + Easy to get hired. + Most people I worked with were likeable. + You learn a lot (very quickly).

- Overtime is expected of you, even if you're on salary and don't get overtime pay. At least half of weekends they ask you to work. - Unorganized and chaotic, they're in a constant state of crisis and firefighting, so high-stress. - Even people who are friendly to you are willing to throw you under the bus when they need to make themselves look better. - High-turnover; almost no one has been there very long, so most people don't have a mature understanding of things. - Poor training; they talk about "on the job training" during on-boarding, but what that means is essentially that you start working and it's sink or swim. - Bad pay relative to other companies. - Resistant to change; even if you know exactly how something could be better, it's probably not going to be allowed to happen. - Unclear responsibilities; you end up being expected to do anything and everything they can get you to do rather than what you were hired to do. - You're expected to be willing screw coworkers over to maximize numbers. - Cheap; sometimes it was a headache to get ahold of even simple office supplies like notebooks and flash drives because they're so unwilling to spend money on things (even necessary tools/equipment). Some new-hires go weeks without a laptop, and a lot of people are expected to just use their personal equipment.
