Pros

There truly are good people that work for SGS. I've received many wonderful development opportunities across the years.

Cons

SGS has been in a constant state of change for several years now. Employees are fearful of losing their jobs. The recent senior management team is the worst that has been in place in years. Employees are not treated like they add value and are constantly passed up for new opportunities by external hires. Morale is very low.
