Pros

Fantastic place for an entry level job out of college. This company is very willing to invest in training and travel when developing their employees. They have some extremely talented people if you can find them. Breadth of product portfolio for the Life Sciences market.

Cons

Extremely bureaucratic and political. The silos that separate divisions in this company are impenetrable and communication is abysmal. Interdepartmental cooperation is very bad, there must be a payment to get support and service to cooperate. Major generation gap, 20+ years of experience and 5 years or less, not much in between.

Pros

Great products that help scientific researchers

Cons

The enterprise comms dept is awful. A toxic environment marked by instability and burnout. Long‑time employees are pushed out, new hires leave, and the culture is defined by fear rather than collaboration. The core issue is the leadership. Limited enterprise‑level experience and a lack of emotional intelligence have created a culture of micro-managing, reactive decisions, and psychological insecurity. Instead of providing clarity and strategic leadership, the leader fuels confusion, distrust, and exhaustion. The result is a dysfunctional department where morale is low, workloads are unsustainable, and employees feel unsafe speaking up.
