Pros

- Lots of career development opportunities - Cross department collaboration - Recognizes internal talent - Flexible work hours (i.e. work from home) - Relatively transparent management

Cons

- You'll waste a lot of time dealing with petty administration tasks and bureaucracy. - Below industry standard salaries. - Low PTO hours. - Weak corporate culture or department community. - Low number of millennials and age diversity. - Poor college recruitment programs. - Either Pro/Con depending on who you are, but the business is very sales driven instead of product driven. - Not a very interesting headquarters location.

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.
