      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...

      Horrible operations management

      Pros

      Overall, the benefits are the only positives in working here. ESPP, 401k match, cheap health insurance, paid education.

      Cons

      Such a lazy culture! Operations managers are clueless, inexperienced and amateur. They love going to their meetings closed door but once on the floor they can never really execute at a high level. Chaotic management and unwilling to invest in quality personnel. Very little communication between depts and even within depts. So many slackers that get away with multiple offenses, it's embarrassing! Those that actually work hard and carry a heavier workload are never fully compensated or promoted. Operations managers only favor those that kisses their you know what! Wasteful spending all around, including too many useless employees. They don't provide the necessary resources to do your job.

      Good Organization, Slightly Disorganized

      Pros

      There is always plenty of work to be done. Most people are friendly and helpful.

      Cons

      With so much to be done, there are often miscommunication as to who is doing what. There is little to no training.
