Pros

Good compensation Hyperactive demanding environment Stock moved dramatically up on the new CEO's hype and TEL M&A promises Growth in engineering Adding EVP of Engineering

Cons

Layoffs everywhere other than engineering and likely massive "synergy" actions later Varian mid level VP/director executives, close to CEO/CFO plate, get fast track advancement, while delivering pathetic business results and performance; which is the same as they did there
