Pros

They do make great products. Some good people.

Cons

Literally everything else. Extremely toxic work environment. Inept leadership, particularly in the sales department. Severe micromanagement, at least 30% of your time is spent doing admin work. You will receive no training and very limited support from the company. They hire and fire there entire sales staff every 2-3 years rather than fix their internal issues. Sales growth targets of 70-80% even though the company has not grown in years. Most of their clients hate them and would prefer to work with engineering firms or 3rd party service providers. Pay on the low side and poor benefits. This will be the worst job you ever have.

Pros

Getting a certain exposure to some multinational customers, on large projects was interesting, but it is clear, that they rely on a small customer base who account for the majority of revenue. When the loyalty of these cutomers receeds they will fail and end up in liquidation, with the Irish operation the first to be removed.

Cons

Actual quality of the final systems is atrocious, but expected when using suppliers from China and the systems are manufactured in Springfield MO, with workers who have no appreciation of hygienic sytems for Biologic drugs. Salary is awful. Travel policy is terrible. Force you to sign "per diem" expense letters, for foreign projects, so you can't claim your full entitlements if your allowance is exceeded. No cars offered on company travel locally or abroad. Working hours break the break, the Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997 in particlular section 15 & 17. Yearly Salaryies increase based on a rating system of months worked, approximately 2%, not the individuals performance. No increase in salaries when promoted to lead roles. Will lie in intial interviews to bring you on board. Middle and upper management, are absolutely terrible cowards, with no back bone. Work in fear with governance remotely from the US. All decisions are filtered through the US. Overtime rate is 4%. No flexitime. No days in lieu. No continual professionl development or training offered.
