SGS reviews

Poor salary - no benefits Training structure is unorganised and poorly executed Staff morale is poor Team leaders care more about sucking up to their bosses than leading a team. Unsupportive management Management are bullies, causing a high turn over in the time I was there and ultimately became the reason I left. Work environment is more like a dictatorship. Senior management was hardly ever in the office and when they were, they were very standoffish and rude. Appointed team leader had no knowledge of the entire teams responsibilities and therefore could not provided sufficient support. All in all, if you're happy working in a degrading, catty environment where you are made to feel as though you have no options and have no recognition for hard work, then work for SGS. Unless you're willing to be apart of the managerial clique... your time here will be made into a misery.

The division in which I worked (Upstream) left almost no personal time; between my hire date in June 2015 through Labor Day, I had 9 days off. Overtime was outrageous but expected by management. This may be a plus for some but I value my personal time much higher than what SGS was paying me to prioritize their needs. Vacation time would rarely be approved by management due to workload prioritization which led to the majority (~75%) of employee vacation time being lost (SGS doesn't compensate or roll over unused vacation time). Unacceptable!
