Pros

Most the people here are great, everyone in my team has 20-30 years experience while a few are about 3-5 years. Lots to learn from a bunch of great experts.

Cons

Danaher. They suck us dry with organic growth and money. Never want to invest in the core company, the people. Everyone is always complaining about the executives being so out of touch from the customers and standard employees. Amir about drove this company into the ground.

Pros

Campus has a small gym with a very reasonable fee deducted from paycheck, also a Starbucks and a soccer field with astroturf, track for walking/running.

Cons

Management has no clear long term strategy which results in annual cuts of some resources while others work late and on weekends trying to get stuff out the door - but this kind of extra work time heroism is the norm. The staffing is lean with no room to grow (must compete with each other for what money is set aside for rewarding with raises). Many have been here a long time and continue to run projects the same way as if there last 2 decades of process and communications are unknown. Use technology buzzwords with no understanding (aka "agile"), resources are low but schedule moves in so what is left but to go down but quality?

Pros

Benefits are relatively good.

Cons

Tek is no longer an engineering company. It also lacks of support for employees. It's all about margins and lacks investment in employees and R&D.
