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.
