Pros

Dynamic company with good technologies. The chip technology is cutting edge. Instrument and assay technologies are fairly good, but the chips are the company's strength.

Cons

Management definitely has an east coast, old school style. Information flow is largely top down, which is not comfortable for people used to working in Silicon Valley. The acquisition by PerkinElmer only adds to this.

Pros

Great people in field and customer facing positions. Vast knowledge base of applications and instrumentation.

Cons

Very poor executive leadership- don't want to spend money on marketing, promotion of instrumentation, or relevant customer applications. Most do not know industry. Wonder why sales are decreasing.
