      Pros

      Sika is a good company, leader in its industry, very profitable and growing. Employees are fantastic. The working atmosphere is very collaborative and friendly

      Cons

      I was not lucky with my manager. The person did not have neither the technical skills nor the interpersonal/social skills for the role. HR and top management were aware (at least about the lack of interpersonal skills) but for some reason things did not change. Rotation in my department was very high because of this person. A pity, I believe Sika lost good people because of this. I believe top management is too focused on short term results and they are willing to compromise on many things to deliver numbers. This may have been the root cause. However I also got to met other department managers at Sika who were great professionals and people managers, these people treated their employees very well and were also admired by them.

      Pros

      New, relatively clean facility. Nice location. Facility is small and simple. Easy to learn the equipment.

      Cons

      Poor communication. No direction from day to day. You will be judged very quickly by colleagues and management will always side with them even when they are in the wrong. Maintenance boss has NO technical knowledge and that becomes evident and problematic very quickly because he can not recognize your strengths and will challenge your judgement, make you do things his way even though he doesnt know what hes doing. Your contributions will not be recognized or rewarded instead management will get hung up on little things that are of no real consequence. They are cheap and dont like to spend money on spare parts or tools. There are almost zero spare parts so whwn equipment breaks you could be waiting for days for the parts to arrive and in the meantime you get blamed for equipment failure when you had nothing to do with the failure, This is where the boss having no skillset comes into play in a negative way, lack of recognition of systematic troubleshooting steps. The money is below average but the facility is small and quite simplistic. The facility is run mostly by foreigners who display prejudice toward US born citizens. Sounds crazy but it is true.
