Pros

i cant think of any.

Cons

boring place to work, very drab office decor, like a jail. management assigning me tasks unrelated to my job or experience. training coordinator was very quick to sabotage my work or claim it for her own. the pay was low. i was here six months. the last month on the job, i saw my position being offered on the web via monster and hotjobs. when i confronted HR with this, they told me "it's a corporate position, sometimes they house corporate employees here in SJ, though the job descriptions are the same"..three weeks later, they canned me. did me a favor.

Pros

There are no pros at jabil.

Cons

I am writing this review in order to warn potential future employees, who are mostly younger people, about this terrible company. I am not one to even write reviews about past companies even when they were bad but I believe this company has crossed the line when I say BAD. Believe every comment that talks about favoritism in the company because they will go to the extent of managers coming together to get you fired if you ever put a complaint about another employee that has been there longer - even when it was something justifiable like racism and blatant bullying. If you wanna be surrounded by managers who enable this type of behavior and face no consequences then this place is for you! well - only if you get on their good side. I won't go into exact details but that's what I had to deal with in this company. As soon as I reported employees for racism and bullying it was like certain managers turned on me and in the end worked together to fire me even when there are employees who get away with actions that SHOULD get you fired. Even after I left there were coworkers telling me that managers were happy and laughing at the fact that I got fired which is not only disrespectful but completely unprofessional.

Pros

- Depending on where you work/your supervisor, you may have extensive autonomy or minimal interruption or micromanagement, especially if you're productive and proactive - It is a big company with multiple branches and market segments so it is possible to find a plethora of job opportunities - Some 401(k) matching - Insurance benefits are mostly on-par with local competitors - The stock price doesn't necessarily follow the company's performance and can get to a high valuation

Cons

- Covid-19 highlighted how little the corporate management actually cared for employees. Italy and China are two major hubs and corporate management would not proactively take measures to reduce or prevent exposure. It only did the minimum state requirements, and work from home was a very difficult battle - Extensive lay-off culture. Every few years the workforce is reduced due to perpetual short-sighted strategy and/or massive overlapping redundancies and inefficiencies - Working conditions vary greatly and it is especially cruel to some international counterparts. There are employees who have been forced to work while on vacation or medical leave, including taking meetings in the hospital following procedures - Some corporate directors/VPs actually do not have any or enough working experience on roles of people they oversee - Regional heads have incredible egos and some VPs/SVPs have dubious behavior and given their roles, have the power to enforce their ideas downstream - If you are in the US and expecting to ever be pregnant, be ready to have no more than 6 weeks of partial leave as pregnancy is an illness/medical condition to the company - While people are being laid off, corporate HR is having multiple events with catered meals (and so are sr. executives) - No internal 360 feedback or ability to provide feedback on your superior - Too many channels of parallel communication - There are so many people doing similar jobs on certain departments that the downtime/delay with them - such as communication - while others have staff (managers or lower level) churning a lot of work, without room to breathe
