Pros

Great company for those looking to move to Asia as that is where the job growth is. Fantastic stock buyback plan designed to artificially prop up stock value for short term giving executives time to cash out. Excellent career prospects in Asia. Dynamic new CEO.

Cons

Over 1 billion dollars spent in share buy backs to prop up share price that would other wise have crashed. Many big bets have not paid off as expected, some are loosing money. Most of the organization is starved of new investments as cash is spent for share buy backs. New CEO appears to be incapable, his Customer Service background while useful is insufficient to run this company that is primarily an analytical instruments company. VP of IM in OFS is a pro Singapore maniac who is moving most of the premium new instrument manufacturing to Asian countries. He appears to be mentally unstable and blinded by ambition to become SVP.

Pros

Great products that help scientific researchers

Cons

The enterprise comms dept is awful. A toxic environment marked by instability and burnout. Long‑time employees are pushed out, new hires leave, and the culture is defined by fear rather than collaboration. The core issue is the leadership. Limited enterprise‑level experience and a lack of emotional intelligence have created a culture of micro-managing, reactive decisions, and psychological insecurity. Instead of providing clarity and strategic leadership, the leader fuels confusion, distrust, and exhaustion. The result is a dysfunctional department where morale is low, workloads are unsustainable, and employees feel unsafe speaking up.
