Pros

Great people, compensation and benefits are excellent too. Technology is (was) cool and some applications remain competitive.

Cons

Product development was much, much too slow especially for the research market which was initially targeted. This was due to inappropriate company processes rather than to any deficiency in the R&D capabilities, in my opinion, and it caused the company to get clobbered by the competition even though we were first on market with a NGS platform. BTW, Chris McLeod is no longer CEO; Thomas Shinecker has been CEO since late 2011 / early 2012.

Pros

They pay you well and still have some benefits.

Cons

They pretend to care about you. Management isnt transparent. They have too much politics and favoritism and cliques. The management can think for themselves, have to have consultants to tell them how to do everything and the consultants are worthless too. They never heard of a long term plan to them it is 6 weeks. If you retire, they forget you ever existed.
