Pros

If you are new to the field, you will learn enough to move to another company.

Cons

SGS just bought Accutest. Currently there are massive layoffs, and pay and hiring freezes. There are no resources, secret and unattainable goals, and random shifting priorities. It's simultaneously a race to the bottom while they throw things at a wall and see what sticks. There's pervasive fear, intimidation, and the worst top-down declarations instead of management.

Very stable. Really nice people. Management is super nice. I recommend as a place you can build a career. Work / life balance is good too.

Cons

I would say the lower salary but benefits are great.
