      STAY AWAY

      Sales manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Not many that I can think of. Large organization so maybe some opportunities at other groups, but there does not seem to be much cross interaction between companies.

      Cons

      Where do you start. EXTREMELY conservative company and HIGHLY risk averse. Draw hard lines in the sand with terms and conditions and will walk away from revenue. Biggest problem is compensation! The "Sales Incentive Plan" is anything but. It has a hard cap, and a floor which means you don't get paid on any deals until you hit 50% of your number, and then caps you at 150% of your number. It's an accounting tool designed to limit the cost of a sales person into a nice little bucket. If you want to make money or work for a company focused on growth, DO NOT work for an AMETEK owned company. Go somewhere else. Add into that unrealistic growth targets with little to no investment in helping to achieve those numbers, it means that people stand a real chance of not making any money. Finally, if you're not careful, the way the plan is structured, you could end up OWING the company money... as crazy as that sounds, it's not that far of a stretch to end up in that situation. If I could give 0 for comp and benefits, I would.

      Good Benefits/401K but Atmosphere is NOT GOOD

      Information technology specialist

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits/401K but that’s about it

      Cons

      Depressing environment. They have changed our VPN three times in less than a year. They took all our rights away in Active Directory while putting in a ticketing system to take its place where SLA’s are not met. They want to move from Windows Active Directory to Azure but the process is a mess and Azure AD does not work as well. The computer screens get logged out every 5 minutes and trying to get that extended is a nightmare. They buy companies and promise not to change things but all they do is change EVERYTHING. They lay off half the employees and then the employees that are left are doing the jobs of 3 employees while making a terrible salary. Everyone you talk to is upset about all the change and they talk about how corporate pushes deadlines but they can’t be met because of other roadblocks that corporate put in place. People in higher positions (HR) think that they can get away with anything while nobody regulates what they do. Just stay away from working for AMETEK.

      Toxic place to work

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you're in management, there is absolutely no accountability for anything you do. You can just flow it downhill to the people that actually work

      Cons

      Toxic place to work. Always moving goalposts on bonuses, routinely lying to customers, pricing policy is outrageous, they only live quarter-to-quarter here
