Pros

Pay can be good. Product sells itself because it so cheap and warranty is attractive for dealers and customers. China runs the show and operations in USA are led by leadership with very little construction/heavy equipment industry experience. Hence, the jobs are very easy and there is very little room for outside the box mentality since this company has so many obvious issues. If you are a seasoned industry veteran with no need to stand out and execute great ideas and just want a paycheck this is the job for you. If you are wanting to grow in a company and become influential in the industry with innovative ideas, this company is not for you. A lot of xerox happens since the company is Chinese and has no engineering being done in USA.

Cons

Oh so many. All you have to do is read about what people know about sany. You are supporting communism, you will be at the mercy of the Chinese and it will be difficult to get their trust, there is no vision of manufacturing in USA even though they say product is build for America which is misleading, if you have manufacturing plant experience you will easily figure that out, they can’t keep employees and the very little product they put together in USA is always decreasing in the lines. Leadership has barely any experience in the off highway industry and make terrible decisions with a lot of bottlenecks in place. There are many other ways an experienced equipment profesional can make a six figure salary without compromising their dignity and career ambitions. Be careful of what they promise and make sure you speak with someone that has had a job at sany before accepting an offer from them, if you do take a job make sure you get at least a six month severance package as any day the Chinese can just pull operations.

Pros

The people were very nice. I spent time in China and that was a great experience.

Cons

I felt within the first week that my job could go away at any moment as I saw talented people let go or laid off with little regard for US business practice. I also saw this in China. The employees are not regraded as assets but consumables. As an engineer be prepared to be frustrated as innovation is not accepted and you are expected to just copy competitors. They lack validation and expect the customer to find the faults and then the will react to that.
