Pros

- The company is relatively stable compared to tech companies in the valley - Varian offers room for professional growth and advancement if you make the effort to explore and pursue them

Cons

- Internal processes are not well defined - A lot of "tribal knowledge" that makes it hard to transfer information - The downside to low attrition is having a lot of people who have been around for a long time who are stuck in their old ways

Pros

Good amount of downtime. Company car. Decent benefits. Fairly autonomous (depending on manager). Great troubleshooting experience.

Cons

Management can be overbearing. After being bought by Siemens, the company no longer values patient treatment over profit. Work life balance is seriously lacking. You may have downtime but you can’t plan anything during the week due to being on-call. Overtime is now heavily monitored, where it used to be a big selling point. Seeing as the hourly pay is relatively low compared to the job responsibilities.
