Formerly a great company, now beyond repair.
Pros
There is a good rapport between the team members. Many dedicated and hard working staff. Good team working atmosphere. Nice instruments to work on and a varied customer base.
Cons
The corporate culture has now changed to the worst case of spreadsheet management, allied with a culture of rapid promotion for individuals that exhibit the highest psychopathic tendencies. The HR department give a superficial front of caring, but underneath don't care less. Any employee that stays in the same job for more than 4 years is viewed as "a dinosaur", or "lacking any real ambition". Staff levels cannot be increased without it being signed for, in blood, in triplicate, by faceless managers on another continent, until that is you leave, having been driven to ill health, then it happens immediately.... The overall shift in staff numbers is downward, with experienced staff leaving and many not replaced. That is despite strong sales. The remaining technical staff are overworked. Do not expect to have a home life if you take a job here.
