Pros

Overall a pretty fun work environment... everyone is friendly and helpful (minus a few employees), work schedule was pretty relaxed (40 hours per week, but daily hours weren't set in stone), and received 1.5 pay for overtime. As an intern I learned a lot and witnessed a lot of very cool projects. However, because of the work that Saft does, the tasks for interns tend to be somewhat basic and low risk (which is pretty much expected anywhere).

Cons

It is very difficult to get hired unless you know someone in the company. Most of the interns have a parent working there. I was fortunate enough to get the job by knowing a guy who used to work there and he connected me to the current engineering manager. Also, I was contacted by Saft for the first time only a week before I started my internship. The hiring process was quick but it felt too rushed for me. On the other hand I wasn't even interviewed before being offered the job, which is guess is a pro.

Pros

Saft is very accommodating. They’re very flexible. They do a good job of promoting from within. There are some really good managers that really care about their people, and what they do. There are some employees that truly care about what they do and are willing to help wherever needed. This company has a lot of different ways an entry level employee can grow. Benefits package and 401k are very competitive.

Cons

Overall management is lacking. Engineering and their inability to problem solve is dragging the company down. There is very little accountability from the top down. Decisions are made predominantly by engineering with little input from area experts, yet results are not owned by those decision makers. Quality over quantity is preached but rarely shown if a decision between the two needs to be made. Pay is less than comparable businesses in the area, and the incoming talent reflects that. Company grew way too fast and overall culture and morale have suffered.
