Pros
Science colleagues are terrific. The work is interesting and you get exposed to many different materials to be analyzed. Very good company to develop technical skills as you search for a better company to grow your career.
Cons
Newest executive team is tasked with only growing profits as they prepare to sell the company. Executives are incentivized based on this. Executives view technical staff as completely replaceable and only as numbers on a spread sheet. A recent executive hire from Sigma has brought a highly experienced and highly valued technical team to its knees as she whittles away senior staff. Last count was over 110 years of valuable company experience gone as she breaks the spirit of just several long term employees. These "numbers" on her spread sheet helped build the company. They backfill this experience with low salaries in order to reduce costs. She did similar damage to Sigma which is why she was hired.
