Pros

Antrim Technology Park is a nice environment to work at. Great place to get retired at.

Cons

No canteen! So, many people take 30-60 min breaks to run to the shop. Managers get a fantastic bonus, employees get pay rises far below the inflation rate. Bullying and racism is promoted, and happens in all the departments. Too bad if you're a foreigner! (I recommend you stay away. Just read other reviews from the Eastern European colleagues) Clogged up toilets! Thank God we got the portaloos last year! (No joke) Sectarianism (like some other workplaces) dictates your wage and career path! After the Sensata integration of Schrader, you can forget about bonus or a decent pay rise (average <2%). Nobody seems to know what they're doing, but as long as you could pretend you're working, you're safe. PropertyPal and UsedCarsNI are the most visited websites. So imagine how productive most people are. Did I mention racism? 10+ court cases each year, and of course HR backs up the racist gangs, as they have deep-grown ties. Thankfully, more than 90% of the cases are lost by Sensata in the courtroom. Very high turnover of the qualified and senior engineers. The approach is: if you could find something better, then go ahead. To no surprise, multiple projects get cancelled due to lack of resource.

Pros

There's nothing positive about this company, and only Sensata could lay off 100s of people in a month, and at the same time give themselves 4 and 5 star feedback! Another big bonus for the CEO and managers, due to layoffs!

Cons

Heres how to spot the fake reviews: Skip any review with 4 or 5 stars, with a one-liner Pros. They usually have a 'Good or Great Company' as the title. Read the 1 to 3 star reviews that are genuine and actually have something to say, if you want to get a feel of how people and careers are slowly diminishing here. Sensata has been aggressively leaving themselves high ratings, masking what they're doing to their employees. Theres absolutely nothing to do here, and were just waiting for our turn to get their awful package and leave. No manager cares, and it's a bad-show here. Just running around working on another project that will never make it out. This is where your career comes to and end :/ Company talks about organic growth on the slides, then lays off 100s the week after, just to pump up the CEO and shareholder bonuses. That's how an accountant CEO runs an engineering company, ruining lives of people who have worked here for years and have mouths to feed.

Pros

Some technical skills can be picked up but you have to be proactive as no training is offered.

Cons

Felt I was bullied out of my job. I have never experienced such anxiety as I had whilst working here. I left with no other job lined up as I hated it that much. You're completely at the mercy of your team leader and if they don't like you, you are in for a hellish experience.
