Decent option for publicly traded company

Pros

Solidstate Controls, Inc. (SCI) was a privately owned company for decades, prior to being acquired by AMETEK. While AMETEK has slowly shifted the culture of the company, many aspects of being a smaller, privately owned company remain. The company often promotes from within, and it has competitive pay and benefits. SCI is still considered a leader in its industry, providing it more stability than manufacturers within a lower quality tier.

Cons

AMETEK now owns SCI and has brought many of the downsides of being a publicly traded company. Many decisions revolve solely around making monthly, quarterly, and annual profit and margin projections. This often seems short-sighted and can be frustrating to many within the company. Additionally, the culture of the company can feel washed, subdued, or even non-existent, by the continual near-obsessive focus on meeting the numbers. That being said, AMETEK does a very good job at delivering increased profits to their shareholders. So while it can be frustrating from an employee perspective, it can be difficult to be too critical of their approach given the results.
