Pros

Bright and hard working people, though they are slowly walking out the door. Fair pay. Flexibility.

Cons

The Caliper merger and resulting leadership is failing, yet the employees are the ones taking the fall. Constant talk of growth is counteracted by non-stop cuts. Severe lack of patience and knowledge about product lines is hampering growth. Customers are becoming dissatisfied due to cuts in all areas.

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.
