Horrible people working there

Pros

The only pro thing was from what I thought a cool environment, boy was I wrong just about the distance I traveled was the only positive thing here.

Cons

This place is horrible to work at, like any job at first things seem alright, then you realize where all the miserable people are starting from managers horrible communications to even terrible outlook, the employees are so unprofessional and very unfriendly. But what do you expect from people working in one job their whole life.

Managed for profit extraction by Danaher

Pros

The rank-and-file employees are decent, caring, intelligent people.

Cons

When I worked there, the organization was atrociously managed and wholly-insufficiently resourced: I definitely got the impression that Danaher--which had purchased the company a few years before--was managing it primarily for revenue extraction, not for maintaining a well-run organization dedicated being a top tier provider of scientific research equipment.
