Pros

Excellent concepts, automation, instrument design and intent to innovation for the future

Cons

Many instruments with half-baked designs and systemic errors remain unaddressed. Market and sell poorly performing products to customers with full knowledge they are prone to malfunction/failure. Significant outsourcing. Zero respect or consideration for foundational level workers. Awful pay scale for personnel, highly-skewed to senior 'leadership' & business managers
