Simply processes for both employees and customers.

Pros

Some of the best brands under one roof. Well known names in the business.

Cons

The merger was a bit of a struggle, not the mom and pop Stanley Proto Feel any longer. But two great well known name brands under one title. One stop shop for all tool users.

Pros

Great opportunity to work with legacy brands on a global scale across multiple industries. If you work in marketing, engineering or product mgmt you have the ability to grow your skill sets as long as you're assigned to the right programs. Plus SBD is a great resume builder.

Cons

SBD can only maintain its growth rate through M&A by leveraging new companies for efficiencies or stripping them for cost. It's a house of cards that occasionally crashes resulting in regular layoffs to temporarily meet goals. Be prepared to never feel secure unless you're well connected. Developing and marketing products is an afterthought for corporate and the limited resources and comical leadership reflect this focus....

Advice to Management

Doesn't matter...they would never listen. Anyone outside the locked c-level exec wing in New Britain doesn't exist to them.

Pros

Decent pay. Large company so great benefits. Room to move up due to sheer size of the company. Iconic brands. Large network of employees. Recognizable company. Had a good training process and identified individuals who could move on to other positions.

Cons

Bleeds the company dry by firing employees when not meeting their financial goals. Does not value the employee. Does not hold management to high standards...very little accountability. They have a history of buying other companies and ruining the culture.

Advice to Management

Listen to the employee and your customers.

Pros

Stanley Black & Decker ranked #6 in the Home Equipment & Furnishings Industry in this year's FORTUNE's Most Admired Companies list. One of the recognized global brands to be associated with.

Cons

Need more adaptability for Indian Market
