FedEx Senior Programmer Analyst reviews

FedEx's current CEO is the original founder of the company with great dreams. This is good because the company has not lost track any time and has been very successful. The management has shown integrity and effectiveness in the past 35 years of history and is one of the virtual duopolies in the US. In the current economic turmoil FedEx has shown tremendous strength and resorted to salary cuts and downsizing in a seemingly fair, controlled and minimal way. The company provides good opportunities for advancement and compensation and advancement are generally performance based. I have not heard of any discrimination based on race, sexual orientation etc. in this company. In short FedEx is a reliable company with good growth opportunities.

The schedule is VERY flexible. If you have to run an errand or leave early for an appointment its fine. This is a place where management actually cares about its employees. Recently with the economy going through a rough patch it would have been very easy to layoff people, right before Christmas no less. Instead, upper management took the biggest salary cuts and reduced our salaries by 5% and no one lost their job. I eliminated my personal trainer (a luxury item) to make up the difference in pay. No big deal whatsoever. I have the ability to work from home if necessary. This is a very laid back place to work where if you are talented and get your work done on time you will be successful. People who are self-motivated and hard-working will definitely love this company. You will be rewarded for your hard work. I would say about 90% of management is promoted from within the organization.
