Pros

Great people to work with, great products- have total faith and confidence of products in the current marketplace.

Cons

Only just hitting average salaries for the grade and poor car allowance. Many "restructures" and redundancies over a short period of time. This makes people nervous for their jobs.

Depressing place to work

Pros

Friendly management, good pay, good location

Cons

This company was a good place to work until Danaher acquired the company and slowly sucked it dry of all the enthusiasm at the innovation that it once had. Everyone is constantly in fear of losing their job now you’re innovative ideas are not rewarded or valued anymore, everybody knows that they’re probably not gonna get a promotion anytime soon and the atmosphere at the company represents that. Nearly half the research department was cut, getting rid of senior research leaders that have been there for many years and contribute huge amount of technological innovation. Poor prospects for the future as PCR technology is reaching its limitations.
