Pros

Spectro *was* a GREAT company to work at. I have been here almost 7 years and the first 6 were my ideal company. We weren't perfect, but we got the job done. Management was incredible. They took a company they bought for $20m in 2011 and sold it for $190m in 2018. You had all kinds of freedom to get your job done. There were no slackers, no corporate politics. I had no problem putting in overtime, because I knew they'd take care of us and we'd be treated fairly.

Cons

Everything is now a con since the Ametek buy-out. The place is run by a European who is just a corporate tool. They have cut three rounds of people, even if we're profitable, but not profitable *enough* for our new overlords. Morale has gone through the floor. All I can say is that everyone is headed to the doors. No one wants to be part of this corporate Titanic.

Pros

Good people, good marketing department, no jerks

we were owned by a venture capital firm looking to sell, so it was always uncertain
