Pros

DBS Tools. However, it is over utilized and with no end in sight. The focus is all wrong. Focused on reporting, metrics, and not the employee and the customer. Its a rite of passage to have as many Kaizens, PSPs as you can.

Cons

The worst place I have ever worked. Sr Leadership is ill qualified for these positions, lack of lab experience, and lack of management. They are concerned about their own career and not the development of others. 5 VPs left in a matter of a year, jumped ship due to the lack of strategy and President, who was just canned. Too little too late. The pay is inferior. You cannot speak up. The office is a dump. The focus is more on metrics vs innovation/new products and focusing on the customer.
