Pros

Not many. I would say some of my coworkers were good people and nice to work with

Cons

Worst upper management ever. I had 4 Managers in 4 years. Culture always changing, no sure footing. Some week, had to work up where close to 80 hours just to make things go, it was overkill.

Pros

great coworkers for the most part. was fortunate to work with many talented individuals with no egos. great technology, great projects in pipeline... good work-life balance. flexible times, free food 2 times a week at least..

Cons

changes slowly being made ever since Danaher take-over. former CEO is in NO way a friend of mine. Decided to sell company to Danaher and retire... probably knew the company was losing $$. HR was always a weak point even before the take-over. Bad communication on HR end with other departments... Recent budget cuts... company cares more about making an extra dollar than keeping employees... very difficult to get promoted unless you have a popular manager. i was never promoted during the 4 years employed here.. possible inside back-stabbing... just because you complete all your work and go beyond your job, it does not mean you will get promoted.. only 3% max annual increases and no bonuses unless you are top level.... maybe things will be better with Danaher? highly doubt it...
