      Pros

      During the last months i had been working in a instrumentation company whose major activity consist in industrial intrument distribution. My job there was a set of instrument quotation on chemical company projects and internal project comunication management as i have a well spoken french, spanish, english and catalan. The job present good oportunity, to get contact with database softwares like G2K and app like Force manager. Moreover i learnt how to set instruments part as their configuration too. Finally i used to speak diferent languages when dealing with foreign clients besides the contact expantion it provides.

      Cons

      However, working here have the main drawback to be stress full sometimes, due to the exigences from the client. As high is the budget of the project, they get excited about the capital invested, followed by some creno situation.

      Pros

      Good and interesting product, some of the folks in non-managerial roles are great to work with.

      Cons

      Fair portion of management, executive and on down, has no clue about managing professionals and employees. There is a revolving door of employees, and people are laid off on a whim. Some of the laid off employees have many years of experience that obviously means nothing. The short term vision, wall street appeasement is all the rage and some basics, like strategy, employee engagement are totally lost. For example: management stopped taking employees surveys because they did not like what employees were saying. To top it off, there is small portion of management in quality that is plain mental.

      Pros

      Somewhat salary base. Free parking place.

      Cons

      First they start smiling then back stabbings. Revolving doors. No recognition and be prepared to depart if you can not take the criticize from you boss who is trying to justify his position in a front of upper management.
