Pros

Financially stable. Company generally has good products, services, and people. Generally good ethics, with some exceptions (tendency to over-commit for some projects, i.e., customer expectations are not always met).

Cons

USA subsidiaries for the SMS Group have limited autonomy. The industry is staid and conservative, very slow to innovate. Risk averse. This can also be a positive, however, because over time this industry will reward companies for good behavior (the people involved tend to stay put for years, and they have memories.....)

Pros

Great culture between employees, great people to work with

Cons

No problems ever get fixed they get worked around, no learning from the past and terrible tariff management, low salary and raises were 1% and no opportunity for career advancement despite many employees wanting opportunities within the company and when opportunities do arise employees are denied or offered no incentive to accept those opportunities like title changes or pay increases
