Pros

decent benefits, good assembly of technologies, smart employees

Cons

Salary compensation only okay and there is heavy bureaucracy at times. Large annual meetings are way too long and therefore wasteful in terms of lost opportunity cost (away from the field too long) and direct cost (e.g. lodging and feeding up 500 employees for 5 days). And, by the way, making mid and late career professionals share a hotel room at these meetings is just cheap.

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.
