Pros

This used to be a great group of excellent and motivated engineers that created cutting-edge optical metrology tools and had customer satisfaction in mind. It was a profitable business with a small but fairly consistent growth and a positive outlook.

Cons

Upper management kept on changing "strategy" with every new quarter trying to chase higher growth rates until they pushed it too far and destroyed the business model, customer base and the engineering group. Everyone who is still working there is just trying to get out while operations is being disrupted by incompetent management. Since the latest restructuring plan was announced the group is barely functioning anymore and is rapidly deteriorating. Key players are jumping ship and moving on or are forced to leave, this will only last a little bit longer before the site in Tucson will have to close completely. Don't board this sinking ship!

Pros

Absolutely none, if you cannot trust your employer to tell you the truth about operations how can you ever sleep comfortably at night.

Cons

Dumped a division without really trying to sell, but was done 3 to 4 months later after all the holidays no one had a positon. Ruined employees careers with 20+ years to obtain one detector. Shame on you. Do not trust this company for anything. It is not only the employees that were harmed the customers were told they want nothing to do with instruments that were sold to them.
