Pros

Decent pay and some chance to move up. This company is going to be around and I have a future.

Cons

Sandvik tends to find the worst un-talented management and promote them. They make bad decisions and all follow them like rats. You can be rewarded for doing nothing and promoted for making mistakes. If you do a great job they will keep you where your at and not advance you. Politics, politics, politics. very very tiring to have to deal with back stabbing at all times.

Sandvik Materials needs wake-up for the reality

Business Outlook

Pros

Top management is very green-thinking and safety-oriented, but some divisions get by doing the minimal.

Cons

SMT has gone through many restructuring(Step Changes) and top management has little or no knowledge of what's going on at the employee level. For many, responsibilities were never redefined by their front line managers causing chaos and high turnover. Little or no employees' development. Management team at Scranton has reached their golden time and everything is status-quo for them while waiting for their retirement.
