Pros
Great company for those looking to move to Asia as that is where the job growth is. Fantastic stock buyback plan designed to artificially prop up stock value for short term giving executives time to cash out. Excellent career prospects in Asia. Dynamic new CEO.
Cons
Over 1 billion dollars spent in share buy backs to prop up share price that would other wise have crashed. Many big bets have not paid off as expected, some are loosing money. Most of the organization is starved of new investments as cash is spent for share buy backs. New CEO appears to be incapable, his Customer Service background while useful is insufficient to run this company that is primarily an analytical instruments company. VP of IM in OFS is a pro Singapore maniac who is moving most of the premium new instrument manufacturing to Asian countries. He appears to be mentally unstable and blinded by ambition to become SVP.
