Pros

Agile methodology for development. Work is reviewed to make sure the quality of work is above standards. Well balanced personal life.

Cons

I wouldn't recommend this to freshers or just-out-of-college students as this is bit slow in execution and as a fresher we all are very enthusiasts to do lots of work and a variety of experiments. Once you have had a good 2-3 years experience elsewhere you can surely join Varian and you will feel better about the work you do and the pace is what you wanted after fast 2 years work. May be this is personal opinion but this is what i think.

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.
