Pros
Labsphere is a combination of a manufacturing company, making photonics test equipment, and an engineering company that creates software to run their equipment, and mechanical and electrical modifications to their core test equipment. The core equipment is called an integrating sphere and is used either to characterize light or to generate a uniform light source to help calibrate devices, such as cameras. Many of the rank and file folks who work at Labsphere are dedicated and hard-working.
Kontras
Labsphere has made some well-intentioned efforts to foster innovation. However, a string of poor choices for senior management has roiled the engineering corps, decimating the ranks, especially of young and innovative contributors. Labsphere is in a beautiful spot in New Hampshire, but it's hard to attract young engineering talent. Over the last several years, they have had some superb folks, but they have moved on. These kinds of people are hard to replace.
