Pros

Very good teams throughout my career here. Flexible hours in some cases, lots of perks for engineers (car, cell, travel accounts, etc). This company has been very good to me over the years in the case of medical emergencies. The insurance is great; they had partner benefits before most other companies.

Cons

Lower pay than competitors Currently unstable--lots of quiet layoffs in rounds to make numbers for Wall Street Slow to adopt new concepts/technology Lack of vision below President Lack of infrastructure Lack of upward movement Field gets almost no training unless you're an engineer--and those training programs are few and far ebwteen.

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.
