Pros

AMETEK is very decentralized, it is organized around about 50 Business Units that operate like independent small businesses. Each business gets to make its decisions as needed to drive their own growth with very little interference from the top. Minimal corporate structure. Not tied down by title or position, a true meritocracy. I've been here 30+ years and have not regretted it.

Cons

The independent Business Unit concept limits cooperation between the BU's. This isn't a major issue, but does slightly hamper some growth. But any loss of growth is overcome by the efficiency the BU concept brings to the business.

Pros

I joined the company a year ago and I'm very happy with my decision. AMETEK is a great corporation with tons of resources and opportunities for growth. They have a decentralized business structure which is the best of both worlds. Each business division is run according to industry and onsite leadership, with guidance and support for the Corporate Office in PA. We have great benefits and fair market compensation. I would highly recommend this company!

Cons

Honestly, I really enjoy working here and I don't have any "cons" based on my personal experience.

Pros

Excellent benefits, pay and team atmosphere. Their paid time off and 401K/Pension plans are the best I have participated in. The AMETEK Foundation gives us the opportunity to give back to our community.

Cons

Volatile Aerospace industry creates job uncertainty which can hurt employee morale.
