    The good thingsYou can work anywhere with the knowledge and experience you learnt at Jabil.
    The challengesTips : If you are hired, dont accept any bonus offered (you will be bonded). Just demand for high salary. Then you'll be happy working at Jabil. If not happy, you still can quit without suffering to wait another years or two. Thanks me later!

    High Salary Offered + Bonus (bond) is a TRAP!
    The good thingsLearn a lot of things in a short time. 1 year is enough to be skillfull.
    The challengesMedical workcell is the worst. The workload, worklife balance, the culture, support from seniors and managers are really bad. If you are from OEM company with a good culture and worklife balance, dont ever apply here. You will suffer a lot eventho getting good salary. Believe me.

    No Worklife Balance & Not a Healthy Work Culture
    The good thingsSalary offered is high due to high turnover.
    The challengesWhoever planned to work in Jabil, please background check the workcell you'll be reporting in. If the workcell is high turnover, you'll stucked there and hope to jump to other company. You'll get anxiety, headache, HBP and etc. It's not a people oriented company. HR also not strong enough to fight for employees.

    Oct 2022
    Penang5 to 6 years in the role, former employee
    Good colleagues & opportunities, compensation package needs to be improved
    The good thingsExcellent working environment, really good and helpful and knowledgeable colleagues. Some managers/directors in Jabil IT are absolutely fantastic, they build and train their teams with a passion, providing growing opportunities where suitable. Although some still require improvement, but overall, pretty decent. Jabil is a great place to build your career. Many learning opportunities and projects to participate in. They are big on training, so you will have no end to learning new things.
    The challengesBeing with a company for so many years, the compensation package diminishes over time. As our skillsets and workload increase exponentially, our base salary do not grow as fast. One can easily get better base salary increment outside of Jabil with the increased of skillsets obtained. Up to a certain level, there will be a phase where positions are stagnant. They had the history of keeping retired folks as sr. directors on contract, blocking internal advancements. This is changing slowly, but the effect is being felt. Problem also with promoting some managers based on years of seniority, rather than capability, these managers show insecurities and morale of the team takes the hit.

    Very political and no work life balance
    The good thingsI did not see anything commendable about the work place at all. They preach values but when it comes down to the ground, it does not happen
    The challengesThere is no guidance and set expectations. Everybody expects you to know. That is just too presumptuous.
