Pros

Some really good engineers and management, but they are not in SJ. They are in another state.

Cons

This is not a development company. It is a manufacturing slave company. There is no product development. Sanmina is also known as Slavemina. Policies, especially IT policies are engineering and growth hindrances. There is no Wi-Fi for employees. The company is a decade behind the rest of Silicon Valley. Forget about competitive benefits. There are a lot of people that wear grey smocks that look like prisoners walking around. There are a lot of TVs just hanging around for no reasons other than propaganda, waste of money. Offices are pretty much empty. They removed SCI from the name, but it's still the same Sanmina name and logo. I don't understand why there's a picture of the same woman pointing to some lights that you are forced to look at everywhere, everyday, and everytime you log into email.

Pros

The pay was fairly good for the area, the benefits were good, although expensive.

Cons

The company swayed with the wind. One day there were layoffs, a week later it was hiring temps to take their places. The atmosphere was tense as everyone worried about being the next to lose their job.

Pros

The people are the best thing about this company. Can stay up to date in technology and learn business practices

Cons

Management is terrible, especially upper management. There is no direction. There is an expectation that you are supposed to work every minute of your life. Raises if any are minute, bonuses are mostly insulting.
