Pros

Acceptable training, good salary and benefits. Local management gives freedom to work and develop, good balance work / personal life

Cons

Career opportunities not to open. Too many changes of direction, every two years or so, there´s a new strategy; After five years of working at Sandvik, new"core" values. "Focus on client" shouldn´t be some words printed on paper only.....

The salary was average, good enough benefits and the people working there were mostly nice.

No growing opportunities, at least on my role. No women were allowed on my team for no reason.

Pros

They have great benefits. There are some areas of Sandvik that are better to work than others if they have good leadership.

Cons

Controllers are expected to work on multiple projects with short deadlines without regard to workload or staffing, which makes it difficult to take time off. Company is focused on lean management and keeping headcount low making it difficult to hire employees. This results in a horrible work/life balance. Compensation is below the national average. The U.S. holding office is currently experiencing extreme staff turnover due to relocating. IT and HR support is poor. Innovation and customer service are not priorities although these are core values. The only core value emulated is the "passion to win" at all costs, including the health of employees. Leadership is toxic at some offices where employees suffer in toxic, abusive, ageist, sexist environments.
