Pros

Largely good people to work with. interesting projects and opportunities. Span of business should lead to good synergies and increasing cross-division co-operation leading to enhanced business.

Cons

Weak and uninspiring management. Overly reactive to a bad quarter. Very insulated teams with minimal sharing across divisions. Limited long term view and investments are given a short time to succeed.

Pros

Great people in field and customer facing positions. Vast knowledge base of applications and instrumentation.

Cons

Very poor executive leadership- don't want to spend money on marketing, promotion of instrumentation, or relevant customer applications. Most do not know industry. Wonder why sales are decreasing.
