Pros

Company is owned by ITW which offers great employee benefits.

Cons

High level management is extremely detached. Managers of several groups within the company don't have sufficient acumen to tackle important problems arising , and are at many times very disoriented. The engineering side is understaffed for the rate of product development expected from higher management. Overall Brooks might be stable because of old legacy products. But new product development is struggling with no results guaranteed for on-time product delivery. End result is customers are constantly frustrated.

Pros

There are a lot of opportunities to move around within the company and pick up new experiences. Strong emphasis on process improvement.

Cons

The operation is very lean. As with many contemporary companies, you will be assigned more responsibilities than can practically be accomplished.
