Pros

Many different platforms to develop and integrate, dominance of specific areas like screening newborns, animal imaging, chromatography, radioactive materials and environmental testing.

Cons

Not much research being done or long term planning. Manufacturing division not up to par. Doesn't value initiative, creativity or its employees.

Pros

Used to be a wonderful place to work before being bought out.

Cons

There is no feeling of teamwork anymore. Management could be quite nasty and favoritism ran high. New manager seemed to like running things like it was a third world country.
