Pros

The job itself was fine.

Cons

I worked at Jabil through Randstad for over eight months. During this period, I went through a very difficult time in my life: I had serious health issues that required hospitalization and surgery, and shortly after my recovery, my father in Brazil became critically ill and passed away. Randstad initially told me that both they and Jabil were willing to support me during this difficult time. However, despite returning to work and not missing any further days afterwards, I was told that if I had one more absence, I would be dismissed. Even without having additional absences, I was eventually terminated. I was also confused about my contract status. My initial contract was for six months, renewable for another six months, but instead of being renewed, I was dismissed after eight months. There was a lack of clarity regarding outstanding payments and holiday entitlement as well. Overall, I felt there was a serious lack of trust and support. Promises of understanding during bereavement were not honored, and communication about the contract and termination was unclear. Cons: Lack of genuine support during personal crisis, poor communication, and job insecurity

Pros

The internal processes are relatively well-established, making it an excellent development platform for recent graduates.Competitive salary and benefits.

Cons

The organization is too large, employee quality varies, and leaders are not necessarily better than their employees. In many cases, this is because leaders are very good at serving their superiors.

Pros

Great group of people to work with. Process and deadline driven contract manufacturing for the semi-conductor industry.

Cons

Unstable work sector with many lay-off cycles and employee turn-overs. Does not embrace "work from home" business model. Corporate HQ pushes C procedures and forced compliance to standards that do not apply to the business sector of individual sites. For example - PCBA procedures and standards at a mechanical machine shop that has nothing to do with PCBA. Force compliance to use unnecessary software to solve problems that do not exist at the individual sites.
