Pros

A long history of fantastic and innovative products and services to the science and technology markets. Very hardworking, talented and diligent employees (not leaders)

Cons

Last 3 years company has deteriorated, having been taken over by Sr leadership whom short sighted strategies employed are for personal share option gain. Operations leadership has been taken over shamelessly by a GE person and pushed down through the organisation a culture of bullying and fear, employing Sr leaders from GE that provide no long term vision or strategy that have destroyed procurement for example and removed talented and knowledgeable personnel who only have the best interests of the company at heart. To any prospective personnel thinking of joining PKI avoid at all costs (especially in corporate procurement)

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.
