      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some good benefits Initial Training is good - thorough

      Cons

      Pay is frozen - no increases in over a year Further training is poor quality No opportunities to move-up No management support to help employees improve - they say they will help, but rarely happens Life/Work balance in non-existent = it's all about the work It's all about getting the numbers and no preference to quality of information The equipment is OLD and outdated, the software doesn't work well While salaries have been frozen, money is consistently given to cooperatives in excess Managers are not trained well to fill the positions they hold

      Great research company to work for

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good research environment. Interesting and varied projects. Exciting changes (which were badly needed) over the past two years - We have truly become a more Simple, Integrated & Open company better positioned for the future. Current changes underway show potential for fostering a more innovative research environment.

      Cons

      The only con is Salary levels. At least in the Measurement Science unit, salaries are quite a bit lower than the industry average.

      Outsourcing as many jobs as possible. Incompetent Management.

      Pros

      If you work with data, there is so much to do, so much to learn and so many challenges. With Internet and Cable TV, the opportunities to develop new and exciting systems are there.

      Cons

      Management only cares about cutting costs and not competing. They are outsourcing every job they can to save a few dollars. They are paying for the cheapest possible labor in India - really. Unix admins have to be told how to mount drives by Project Managers. If there isn't a Windows Wizard, most of them can't do anything, and they are being placed in charged of major systems.
