      Pros

      Great people, interesting products and solutions. exciting time to be in the STM industry due to a lot of competitive, technological changes in industry

      Cons

      too many reorgs. often time done to hide incompetence of managers. outdated technology and development approach. too much expectation from management that is too removed from what it takes to execute - unrealistic expectations. want to be innovative company but won't change the development approach or give the budget to implement this.

      Your experience depends on which department you are in

      Pros

      Large company, a lot of support structures in place if you look for them, decent salary compared to my previous job in a similar position. If you're interested in particular areas of science you can use their resources/subscriptions to keep up to date with the latest research.

      Cons

      Very different cultures between departments. Whilst some departments enjoy 'away days', cake sales, open office environments and social activities, other departments work in complete solitude where everyone sits in their own individual bubbles, headphones on, not interested in any of their colleagues. Difficult to get to know people if you end up in one of these departments.

      Management is the worst!

      Pros

      The flex time in summer was great.

      Cons

      Just because someone is good at sales does NOT make them a good manager. My manager was horrible.
