Career Growth is a Bit Stagnant
I've been a Manufacturing Engineer at Plexus Corp. for a few years now. It's a stable place, but honestly, career growth here can feel pretty slow for engineering roles.
You get solid experience working with diverse products in the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry. There's good exposure to the production floor and different engineering challenges. It's a decent place to learn the ropes as a new Manufacturing Engineer.
Career growth often feels very structured and slow for engineering roles. Promotions don't come easily; it's more about waiting for someone to retire. Moving into leadership requires a really long tenure at Plexus Corp. in this corporate environment.
Management should create clearer development paths for engineers, especially in the Neenah, Wisconsin office. Encourage internal mobility and faster advancement for high performers instead of just waiting games.
