Pros

Plentiful opportunities to learn and expand your skill sets. A great place if you want to take ownership of research/development projects as there is an endless list of technical work that needs self-direction to get done. The company seems to be moving in an exciting direction with new products.

Cons

Spectra-physics has grown rapidly in headcount while moving lab space to a new building during a global pandemic. This has caused chaos. I am confident that it will be resolved but this rapid change causes lulls in workload and sometimes an initial lack of direction for new hires as lab space often isn't ready for them.
