Some good, some bad

Pros

Not a lot of overtime required, competitive company with global relocation/travel opportunities, invested in training employees. Sandvik as a whole is an excellent company to work for, with involvement in the community, excellent job security, and good benefits.

Cons

Getting ahead is more dependent on who you know rather than how you perform. Poor example of a diverse workforce at all levels of the Westminster site, and poor commitment to real change in this area. If you just want a job where you can do your work and go home, it's a good place to be. But unless you want to play the good ol boy game, don't expect much advancement or opportunity.

Pros

I get a perfect work life balance while working with Sandvik . There was numerous opportunities to learn and interact with seniours and experienced people. Got lot exposure here.

Cons

Sandvik is a great place and an organization to be associated with . Though I like interacting and facing tough people and situations but there are times when you can not do anything to make things better . I think I should have a better package as per the job I am doing.

Pros

Benefit package, plenty of opportunities,

Cons

New organisation was supposed to be faster, more delegating etc. Just the opposite happened. Red tape all over the place, investments stopped, employees dehonested. Very very very Swedish. pretends to be international company, but total SMT management is Swedish. Recent management style in Tube is closer to military academy then modern enterprise.
