Great research company to work for

Business Outlook

Pros

Good research environment. Interesting and varied projects. Exciting changes (which were badly needed) over the past two years - We have truly become a more Simple, Integrated & Open company better positioned for the future. Current changes underway show potential for fostering a more innovative research environment.

Cons

The only con is Salary levels. At least in the Measurement Science unit, salaries are quite a bit lower than the industry average.
