Pros

This is a small company so the opportunity to do what you want do, learn what you want to do, and see that your work has an impact is all here. With all that, the company is owned by Danaher so you see a lot of things that a small company typically doesn't have the budget to do (have Oracle as an ERP system, free drinks, access to Danaher tools, etc). Most team members are nice and put an effort to help others.

Cons

The bathrooms are straight terrible. What is up with the smell in these things? It's like all ya'll eatin' Taco Bell every hour or something.
