My Personal Experience - May not be true for everyone there. - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso SIM International

Great people Great work/life balance

Nothing negative to say about Sim

SIM is a great starting point for someone wanting to break in the industry and learn. You will get to work with the latest and greatest gear. Benefits are some of the best, but compensation for the skills and knowledge you must know compared to the clients you serve is not so great. Co-workers are awesome to work with across all offices.

SIM is not what it use to be. With the change in CEO and upper management in conjunction with the failed merger with Panavision/Saban, it has spiraled down mostly for camera department. Most people in upper management that actually care for the company and wellbeing has left over the past three years. Other departments seems to be doing okay. I enjoyed the time while I was there and appreciated every moment. At the end of the day, SIM is now strictly a corporate culture with investors/executives that are making hard number decisions with zero to little knowledge of the heart of the industry and pawning its operating decisions to its lower management and hoping for the best. I don't blame them, they do what they can only do for the company, protect its investment. Just disappointed at how the current and last CEO and investors/board has handled the company's direction leading to a major downsizing. My guess is that this company is prepping to sell and not to grow. My advice to someone looking to work for SIM, network and learn what you can with your time there from some of the best people in the industry, then look for better opportunities elsewhere when you've hit your plateau.
