Pros

Great people, some cool tech, veryyyy relaxed environment

Cons

Many staff have been there since leaving school, with some now in their 40's/50's or older. While that isn't really a con it does mean there is little experience of life outside of Quantel which leads to a very slow paced way of working, again this isn't really a negative if you like doing as little as possible. I was surprised the company lasted so long haemorrhaging money on non productive staff selling/supporting buggy products. There was also very little direction in terms of company vision and it felt as though many departments were often doing their own thing and the after sales support teams were often left to pick up the pieces of poorly designed products.

Pros

Reasons why working at SAM is good? The number one reason for me is not the leading technology in the business, not even the infinitely superior knowledge of my fellow engineers (I could wax lyrical about this - when we find an issue with our software/firmware its usually fixed in hours not days!). For me the best thing about this company is the extremely good work ethic - nothing is too much trouble for us to deliver our products to the customer. A recent client commented on how we are the only manufacturer who we'll dedicate our entire on site time to them, putting in all hours to get the job done - and trust me it's not done begrudgingly, we want to deliver the best solution possible every time.

Cons

The merger between Quantel and Snell Group has not been easy. To the outside world we are one company, but internally we are still split into at least two companies. There has been many positive moves to rectify this, but it is moving far too slowly
