Sandvik Reviews

Controllers are expected to work on multiple projects with short deadlines without regard to workload or staffing, which makes it difficult to take time off. Company is focused on lean management and keeping headcount low making it difficult to hire employees. This results in a horrible work/life balance. Compensation is below the national average. The U.S. holding office is currently experiencing extreme staff turnover due to relocating. IT and HR support is poor. Innovation and customer service are not priorities although these are core values. The only core value emulated is the "passion to win" at all costs, including the health of employees. Leadership is toxic at some offices where employees suffer in toxic, abusive, ageist, sexist environments.

Good luck making an impact. Innovation is punished. Keep your head down. Don't speak up. The management layer accepts no input of any kind from anyone. The place is terminally over-managed but there are no leaders. There are 15+ management positions overseeing only ~110 employees. That level of overhead is not sustainable. Production volume is being sent overseas.
