Pros

Specac has recently acquired Harrick Scientific, another infrared spectroscopy accessory company. It means for a lot of change and growth. Innovation is on the cards and the manufacturing systems are being streamlined. The driving force is a new inflow of of capital and knowledge from Ampersand Capital Partners.

Cons

Some people might struggle with change and the merger. The train is leaving the station, if you're keen....get on!

Pros

The Head of Finance seemed more interested in sounding like he was on a lads group than running a professional department. Constant vulgar comments and inappropriate chat made the place feel awkward from day one. Says a lot when a new starter lasted less than a week before deciding they’d rather update the cvs than stay there.

Cons

Finance man seemed to think bullying counted as management and vulgar comments counted as banter. If you want to know what the atmosphere was like, have a quiet word with the female stafff, they’ll probably give a more honest exit interview than management ever did. Staff turnover was less a coincidence and more a survival instinct.
