Pros

Established, well respected brand name opens many doors to opportunities.

Cons

No alignment between Sales and lab capabilities leads to endless frustration and inability to achieve goals. Decision making is slow as molasses, often needing to go up multiple layers to senior management for no-brainer decisions. Fear of ownership and decision-making leads to a pass-the-buck mentality.

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
