Pros

Solidstate Controls, Inc. (SCI) was a privately owned company for decades, prior to being acquired by AMETEK. While AMETEK has slowly shifted the culture of the company, many aspects of being a smaller, privately owned company remain. The company often promotes from within, and it has competitive pay and benefits. SCI is still considered a leader in its industry, providing it more stability than manufacturers within a lower quality tier.

Kontras

AMETEK now owns SCI and has brought many of the downsides of being a publicly traded company. Many decisions revolve solely around making monthly, quarterly, and annual profit and margin projections. This often seems short-sighted and can be frustrating to many within the company. Additionally, the culture of the company can feel washed, subdued, or even non-existent, by the continual near-obsessive focus on meeting the numbers. That being said, AMETEK does a very good job at delivering increased profits to their shareholders. So while it can be frustrating from an employee perspective, it can be difficult to be too critical of their approach given the results.

Pros

Lots of people recognize and trust this brand, and the company continues to grow through regular acquisitions of new businesses. In addition, our location is considered one of the nicer facilities in the organization, with a modern, well-maintained campus and an attractive work environment.

Kontras

Back in 2025 they did a lot of damage control due to a lot of issues. There appears to be a very traditional, old-school management mindset that still influences the culture. In my experience, the environment can feel like a "boys' club" at times, which may be common in some manufacturing organizations but can make it difficult for employees seeking a more inclusive and collaborative workplace. At this particular site, favoritism and workplace politics seemed to play a significant role in employee success. Building the right relationships often appeared to be just as important as performance, which could be frustrating and draining over time. The company has experienced layoffs and furloughs, creating a level of uncertainty for employees. Management was often not very visible and was not consistently present on-site, which sometimes made it difficult for employees to feel connected to leadership or understand the direction of the organization. The culture around meetings and presentations was extremely rigid. There was a strong emphasis on structure, hierarchy, and formal presentation standards, which could feel overly militaristic at times and left little room for open discussion or different working styles. Another change I noticed was a reduced emphasis on employee engagement activities compared to what I had observed previously. Opportunities for team-building, recognition, and workplace events seemed less frequent, which had an impact on overall morale. While the company offers a strong brand name, continued growth through acquisitions, and an attractive facility, I believe improvements in culture, leadership visibility, employee engagement, and consistency in management practices would significantly improve the overall employee experience.
