Well run from share holders perspective. Good people, great products noble mission and focus. Physical facilities and environment are excellent. Flexible hours and ability to work from home.

Cons

Lack of transparency and either unwilling or unable to communicate clear role boundaries. Middle management not able to engage in constructive conflict resolution resulting in a lack of collaboration. Shareholder value dogma (share price today) driving short term decisions.

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.
