      Hi, Thanks for your review. we do have a great coworkers, I cannot agree more. I am sorry you felt the company didn't value your hard work nor the working condition. People are at the hart of SGS and there are strong business principles around the workforce. I will share your concerns with Management. I wish you all the best in your next endeavour, Tanya

      Cheap company that doesn't care about employees and has short term views

      Metallurgist - minerals
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -It's a job -Not much work -No one over my shoulder -Periodically get a free trip to different mines -Most employees appear to be okay people

      Cons

      -Everyone below upper management in minerals is under compensated -Below average wages for minerals industry -Roughly half of all minerals projects are a failure -Company is very short sighted (only cares about revenue for next quarter) -Ridiculous bonus schedule that is virtually impossible to achieve (quarterly revenues need to be greater than previous quarter for a few years to get a bonus) - only about two senior people from each minerals group get a bonus -low to mid level management get a performance bonus and push low level employees for their own gain -corporate air travel is awful with the firm: placed in the cheapest flight seats at the worst times. SGS objective according to the travel documentation is for employees to be on the cheapest flights in the cheapest seats. -Lousy building - old and dilapidated with little upkeep

      Literally worst place I ever worked

      Chemist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There ate some very talented chemists that are gray people to work with

      Cons

      Low pay. Sink or swim attitude. Severely overworked. Management is happy to throw analysts under the bus while dealing with clients. Any error means there are 5 managers telling your your faults. Very high turn around.
