Diversified in high profit products!

Quality consultant

Business Outlook

Pros

Medical and Pharma provide a realatively secure market. Pay and Benny's are good!

Cons

Senior Leadership is based in Europe. Org chart is messy and there are multiple lines of reporting. Everyone has different priorities and in most cases they conflict with other's. My experience is that they (Senior Leaders) do not like to admit that product development and manufacturing are of higher quality and more profitable coming out of the US businesses. Jobs have been flowing back to Europe.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good experience. Good company. Good people. The strategy is forward thinking and I've had the pleasure to work with many talented people.

Cons

Overly bureaucratic. Sub optimal leadership. Senior leadership is either not qualified and then constantly changing making the job more difficult than need be.
