Pros

It's a big, stable company with some good technology.

Cons

The good technology is swamped by a highly politicised management structure -- senior managers don't manage their businesses, but spend all their time managing upwards to keep their jobs. Services -- IT, HR, Finance, Facilities, etc., are siloed and not under control of the people trying to deliver product, but can do what they like as long as central management is happy.

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.
