Pros

Tight knit, "Family feel", onsite gym, great local communication (memos, transparency, town hall meetings, etc.), smart/hard working/friendly people, top of the line engineering department, clean, beautiful offices in Oakhill. Monthly and quarterly employee celebrations/food truck events, paid volunteer hours, flexibility to WFH occasionally.

Cons

Too far from the "pulse." Employees in Austin don't feel like a part of SNN. Also, no one outside of Austin takes responsibility for their actions/mistakes. Many of the new processes we have had to adapt to since becoming SNN have been an absolute cluster/mess and it's pathetic to hear department leaders on the phone never own up to these mistakes. Lots of people are currently unhappy with all the changes and morale is down. Benefits packages & bonuses have taken a big plunge since SNN took over.

Pros

The PTO benefits are excellent and available from the start of employment. There is a consistent workflow across all shifts, providing steady work opportunities. SNN offers a strong support system both on and off the floor, creating a positive work environment. Additionally, the company’s 401(k) program is one of the best I’ve encountered, including a generous employer matching contribution.

Cons

At this time, I have no concerns or suggestions for improvement. My experience has been very positive, and things have been going well overall.
