Pros

Former Coherent Inc was a really good company to work for. There’s some of that left.

Cons

CEO Chuck overpaid for Coherent Inc and did it with variable rate loans like a teenager. Now he’s choking all businesses to save money. It’ll cost big time in the end. Completely micro-managing from the very top. Terrible practice.

Other companies are giving Coherent money to stay afloat.
