Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Terrible place to work, has never been a good place to work, but wow has it seriously gotten bad. Terrible management at all levels. Very little to no training. Toxic work culture. Boring company with no direction or pulse. The new CEO and upper management here should be ashamed of themselves. Company has done nothing but get cheaper and cheaper and make cut after cut. Management provides no support, is useless, lazy, and provides very little training while the people below them do everything and their managers take all of the credit. Nobody knows how to manage anything here. Departments have terrible communication. Management also completely ignores serious daily operational issues and because of this, most departments can barely function properly and no one ever knows what’s going on at this place. The lack of communication from managers to their employees is unreal to say the least and you will be in the dark all the time about what’s really going on behind the scenes here. No job or career growth AT ALL here if you don't work in the lab. Management does nothing but lie to you to keep you chugging away without you ever receiving a real raise or promotion while you keep slaving away at your dead-end job. Work is monotonous, unfulfilling and completely unrewarding. There is no reward for hard work or being a good employee. Also HR here is completely useless and unprofessional and does not have your back at all and will lie right to your face. Don’t work here unless you want to be trapped with a dead-end job and be nothing but lied to by management. By the end of my time here, all I saw was people being let go left and right with each successive round of layoffs after layoffs, while teams go completely unsupported without enough staff resulting in many people just quitting and leaving and many others taking extended leaves while the remainder of us are left here to suffer picking up all of their work. Work from home policy: Was WFH for all non-lab members since Covid until upper management forced everyone back into the office for no reason

Pros

My immediate colleagues are supportive

Cons

This company is starting to show real cracks. Constant murmur of more job cuts and it's always back office - those we need to do our jobs. It just means more admin for sales but not enough hours in the day to do it. It's fine for the CEO to sit there and tell us the numbers are achievable, he's not done it before (and from what I understand, former companies under his control have consistently performed worse and morale has gone down the toilet so why should we expect anything different here). It's super high stress, long hours, average pay and no opportunity to grow in the job. Management recently purchased the UK biobank which is fine for elevating our revenue but it takes a big customer away from the UK team as it'll soon be an internal customer. Targets won't change. I would only recommend joining this company if you hate yourself and have no life goals.
