Pros

The company has an impressive portfolio of high tech gizmos. I worked there in an engineering job and have no clear idea what specifically they were making. I saw plenty of different machines but I have no idea the entire portfolio.

Cons

Bruker is probably the worst company I've ever worked for. It was hiring new employees in while senior management was planning to outsource the division. 60 people were laid off some had only worked there for a few weeks/months and left reliable jobs. They guard information like the Stasi. There is no communication between departments/divisions to prevent horrible morale from spreading like a disease.

Pros

Decent company for starters but need to move on after 2 years. Other than good medical benefit ... nothing much to say

Cons

Management sucks big time .... over load with irrelevant objectives. Even objective met u will not get a raise, they will tell u it part of your job. No promotion and no growth opportunity within the organisation
