Pros
- Employees are friendly with each other and encourage one another to do their best. - Cross-department collaboration is encouraged and relationships are easily formed to allow for projects/tasks to be completed at a high-level. - Benefits/Salary are competitive, management is honest when you are approaching a ceiling and encourage you to find ways to further your career if you so desire. - Flexibility to work from home for family/personal issues as well as weather-related issues (i.e. snowstorm, etc.). - Fantastic environment for people who do not like to be micro-managed. - Ability to travel is offered for those employees who may be interested in on-site visits to customers and other AMETEK facilities. - Cross-department training is encouraged and people looking to try out new roles are given opportunity to do so.
Cons
- Tremendous amount of pressure from upper management to meet the monthly/quarterly/annual numbers at seemingly any cost. - External customer service is seemingly sacrificed in order to please those who most benefit from higher profit margins. - Needing to interface with multiple facilities across different professional cultures for projects can sometimes prove difficult, though can be overcome with patience.
