Pros

Established, well respected brand name opens many doors to opportunities.

Cons

No alignment between Sales and lab capabilities leads to endless frustration and inability to achieve goals. Decision making is slow as molasses, often needing to go up multiple layers to senior management for no-brainer decisions. Fear of ownership and decision-making leads to a pass-the-buck mentality.
