Pros

- The company is relatively stable compared to tech companies in the valley - Varian offers room for professional growth and advancement if you make the effort to explore and pursue them

Cons

- Internal processes are not well defined - A lot of "tribal knowledge" that makes it hard to transfer information - The downside to low attrition is having a lot of people who have been around for a long time who are stuck in their old ways

Pros

The work Varian does towards improving the lives of people with cancer is wonderful. I love being part of the cutting edge in cancer treatment.

Cons

It's not how well you perform but how well you suck up to the top executives that determines how far you go. There have recently been many changes with very inexperienced people beng placed into positions that they are not competent to run. The majority of the workforce are not feeling as though Varian is a career company anymore. The focus has gotten off the customers, and when we lose sight of what put us in these positions, we no longer can be the best.
