Pros

Strong product offering, top notch support and customer commitment by the field teams. Deep industry partnerships (e.g Tibco) and collaborative strategy. Many outstanding teams and people with valuable domain experience.

Cons

Outrageous turnover across critical departments. Lack of successful new product development and next generation technology. No clear informatics vision to the market. Instruments leadership owns decisions for software investments when they have little domain experience. Declining market position and revenue of legacy technologies is alarming. Divesting of several previously acquired software companies tell the story. When customers seek information on Informatics, the original Cambridgesoft website is still running as the primary source, the acquisition was 6 years ago...

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.
