Loyalty to employees is only skin deep. Don't bother sacrificing yourself for Sandvik, they WILL NOT return the favor.

Pros

Good pay, benefits and perks (company car, cell phone, etc)

Cons

Very poor culture. Complete lack of professionalism combined with "high school-esque" drama and behind the back talk. Individuals will not hesitate to step on your back to climb their way to the top or throw you under the bus if they feel it is advantageous to their pocketbook or career path goals. You can not trust anyone or expect any conversation to be held in confidence. Perception drives opinions of individuals and their work, not merit or actual interaction or experience with people or their abilities.

Pros

Good technicians, steelmaking, tooling, and mining equipment mfg capabilities. Excellent benefits if you were able to join prior to 1998. The pension is now closed for those outside Sweden

Cons

It appears that the company going to be broken up. As a result, people are being very conservative and not making time sensitive decisions. Good people are fleeing as top management has moved into a palace of a headquarter building and Olaf is installing his cronies.

Pros

Great hours if on day shift, good training provided to all employees, very good benefits and insurance is really great. Pay is good after you've been there for ten years.

Cons

If a woman the pay is not equal to the men, if a woman you do not get promoted like the men. If your not in the buddy system you will not last long and get overlooked.
