Pros

The products the company makes have the potential to positively impact people across the globe. Some room for mobility both physically (many offices around the world) and career-wise.

Cons

A major lack of resources and a fixation on cutting costs and improving productivity has resulted in an overworked and under-supplied environment. Definitely an old-school company that still thinks spreadsheets can be used for everything.

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.
