Pros

You'll work with some of the smartest people in microscopy, and with some of the most innovative optical products. There is hope that things will get better. The family feeling is still present, but (see cons sectioni) waning.

Cons

You'll also work with some of the biggest and most aggressive bullies. This comes from the top-down and is pervasive in the sales side. Lying, deceit and backstabbing are the norm. Massive exodus coming - some by force, many by choice. Commission plan has been steadily deteriorating. Sell more to make less - double your territory's revenue to make half of what you made last year.

Pros

Per diem is nice, and the company car is ok

Cons

There is no ability to effect change; processes are so manual to keep people employed that should be let go, and the company is unwilling to listen to ideas of change. Also, there is no actual product quality, their so called Quality department does not deal with product quality at all, thus systems leaving the factory untested as a whole system or software releases being fully vetted for functionality. Their "Quality department" is only a CYA department to protect them from FDA audits, which quite frankly, could be called a Complaint Conversion Department. What is the point, other than titles, to call themselves Quality when nothing actually is fixed on the products and they are uninterested in end customer user experience or improving the actual product quality and sustainability.
