Pros

Interesting work, good people to work with.

Cons

Instrument division was poor stepchild of corporation. I was laid off after 30+ years because of the failure of a project that I had no involvement with.

Thank you for sharing and for your 30 years of service. We are indeed proud of our work as an organization, and the numerous contributions of our dedicated people at all levels of service. The company strives to keep up with the ever changing industry needs, and at times there are instances when decisions are made in order to help align the business to the new strategy. Clarity surrounding reasons for separation can always be discussed with the local HR team.

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.
