Pros
Amazing people to work with Exciting markets to work in Strong technologies still leading the market
Kontras
Since the change in CEO, massive cut backs at the coal face, and ever increasing numbers of VPs appointed from the ranks of Friends of Larry, but very slow to bring forward concrete plans - long on talk, short on positive constructive action. Seem content to take the nice reward package, at the expense of the ordinary employee. Too much more from less. Lots of focus on emerging markets (BRICS, EMEA) but what VoC activity there is, is so US-centred that management will never properly understand what these markets need. Even in the US, Pall are divorced from real customer contact as there is no direct selling - how can they claim to understand their markets in such circumstances? No really new products in some core markets for many years, at least two years before changes in R&D will make a difference, if it survives that long. SLS was a core aspect of the selling model, but Industrial has been cut back so far, support to core business is all but impossible.
