Pros

Teamwork here is wonderful, reputation of company is good, and there are more opportunities for advancement than in the past.

Cons

Slow, not enough resources for vast product line, identity crisis between health sciences and scientific instruments, pendulum has swung too far to cost controls over past 20 years.

Pros

Used to be a wonderful place to work before being bought out.

Cons

There is no feeling of teamwork anymore. Management could be quite nasty and favoritism ran high. New manager seemed to like running things like it was a third world country.
