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.
