Pluspunten
Immediate team was great, and I did enjoy the work I was doing. Pay was ok. Benefits were slightly above average.
Minpunten
Top leadership only cared about next quarter's profits and stock price. Therefore, they didn't invest in new technologies or R&D, and were continually cutting costs (even if made our jobs more difficult). Because of the constant threat of layoffs, everyone kept to themselves and was reluctant to share any information with other teams for fear of making themselves expendable. Senior managers were all about titles and appearances, but nobody wanted to make bold decisions for fear it would cost them their job. It was one of those companies where leadership thinks things are going great, blissfully unaware that most employees were deeply dissatisfied because they never actually talked to anyone below them. Pretty much everyone who had been there 20+ years agreed that the company had changed drastically for the worse. Since I left, Pall has been bought by Danaher, so I don't know how that has affected the culture. I do know that the former CEO (who was there less than 4 years) got a $109 million golden parachute for slashing costs and enabling the sale to Danaher....just another example of how this company does business.
