Pros
Good compensation plan. Vacation accrues quickly. At least you will feel good knowing whatever work you are able to contribute might help people with cancer.
Cons
Varian is a complacent "good ol' boy" organization that's come a long way, but still has a long way to go. The old Varian was heavily relationship focused while the new Varian compensated by going too far in the other direction with metrics. Adding metrics to guide them was a good thing, but they went overboard focusing on each and every single tree--losing sight of the forest. And somewhere along the line in all of it, they lost their heart. At points, you feel like you work for the evil empire.
