Pros

There are some good people there I honestly do not have a single good thing to say about this company since the Sandvik take over of SigmaTEK. It got real bad real fast.

Cons

They did not pay us in Jan There is no available upward movement They do not provide the minimum resources needed to adequately perform the job They are working to end remote work They eliminated job training functions eliminated company morale projects removed key staff without replacing them and shoved the responsibilities to whoever was left until they were also fired or got fed up and left Claimed declining company performance was due to lack of effort and not lack of resources or any type of support from upper management via staffing or training Overall terribly managed transition

Pros

Work–life balance is actually respected. Most managers honor boundaries, don’t expect late-night firefighting as the norm, and are fine with you taking time off when you need it. Solid parental leave. The parental leave policy is extremely generous compared to a lot of places in the industry, and leadership is generally supportive of people actually using it. Interesting, challenging work. Plenty of chances to solve real problems, not just busywork. If you’re proactive, you can own projects and grow your skill set. Good benefits package. Healthcare, 401(k), and time off are competitive, and HR does a decent job of making the options clear. Smart coworkers who care. A lot of sharp people who genuinely want to do the right thing for customers and the business, which makes collaboration worthwhile when it works.

Cons

Communication needs improvement. Priorities and decisions don’t always flow clearly from leadership to the teams doing the work, which leads to confusion and rework. Too many silos. Teams tend to operate in their own lane, and cross-functional collaboration can be painful. Information gets stuck instead of shared.
