Pros

as with any company, some of my co-workers were terrific hardworking people.probably a great place to work if you are in operations mgmt or accounting,

Cons

decision making aggregated at the top, operational profit valued over long term organic growth. terrible place to work for sales, marketing, and product management - no investment in people or tools to actually grow sales.

Pros

Laid back environment. I enjoyed working with really everybody.

Cons

No growth. Small headcount and departments mean you can work for the same person doing the same thing for many years without promotion. Single person can backstab you easily. Low pay. No bonuses. Office is falling part. Lot is falling apart.

Pros

I've worked for many companies in similar positions. I think this wide perspective qualifies me to give a fair review of an employer. In this case Ametek is either the top, or one of the very top, companies I have worked for. The compensation and benefits are good. The people are all talented and focused. They seem to treat people fairly and are able to define your goals and objectives clearly. There is a tremendous amount of tenure here as well. People tend to stay at Ametek for a very long time which might be the highest compliment as that is becoming more and more rare.

Cons

Ametek is a large company that has grown by acquisition. As many of those type of companies, it is a little fragmented in structure. Corporate sometimes rolls targets and projects down that fit some of the businesses but not all of the business. You are asked to apply them universally. The focus on financials and specific metrics is taken very serious here with little understanding of circumstances. All of that said, every company has pros and cons. Overall this remains the one of the best places I have worked.
