Pros

Local support, flexible scheduling, lots of opportunities to learn new disciplines

Cons

Expect one tech to do work of three, do not purchase new equipment or replace broken equipment making the job challenging, they expect automation to increase output but most of the automation not fully vetted before put into production, no teamwork between labs, work employees into the ground expecting OT, in order to save a buck by not hiring more help, inconsistent policies, higher management had no technical experience and are only data driven, tout continuous improvement and yet do not listen to suggestions by employees, micromanaging even at the regional level

Pros

Extremely smart engineers in Oregon, generally has a decent culture, invincible brand name

Cons

Company profit isn't being reinvested into itself, parent company controls all profit. This can be seen in lack of NPIs.
