Hybrid Model is Okay for Engineering Roles
Working at Plexus Corp. as a Manufacturing Engineer in Neenah, Wisconsin offered a decent hybrid model. I appreciated the WFH days, but true flexibility for remote work isn't always there. It's a stable company in the Electronics Manufacturing Services industry, but the onsite requirements can be a challenge.
As a Manufacturing Engineer, I liked the hybrid model. I could WFH a couple days which was good for focus. It's helpful in the Electronics Manufacturing Services industry where you also need to be on the production floor sometimes.
Don't expect a lot of full remote work though. Even for some technical roles, you're expected onsite a lot. True flexibility isn't always there, especially in our Neenah, Wisconsin office when a line is down.
Management should really look into more consistent remote options for technical roles where possible. Clearer guidelines for onsite vs. WFH would help too.
