Pros

You get healthcare and a job. The bare minimum.

Cons

-No designated sick days -Stingy federal holiday schedule -Forced to use PTO or unpaid time off for snow days or other site closures due to emergencies -First minute of orientation, obvious focus on how Azenta values shareholders. No emphasis on employee value -Other sites get large holiday outing budget while some sites are completely ignored -No room for salary negotiation, despite paying an offensively low wage -Live in an expensive city? Wages are not adjusted to reflect that. You get paid the same as someone working in the middle of nowhere -Understaffed to the point when one person takes a vacation, everyone takes on the job of 3 people -cheap cheap cheap company trying to exploit the labor of people who earned college degrees and have student loans, car payments, rent, utilities, groceries to pay. With the wage you earn at Azenta, you get to prioritize the bills you need to pay and only pay the ones you can afford with your measly paycheck. -No one hides the fact that Azenta doesn’t care about its employees -Excessive use of unprofessional corporate lingo especially when it comes time for layoffs. All effort goes into avoiding calling it a layoff and downplaying what just happened.

Pros

- Leadership was nice and approachable - Pay and benefits were good

Cons

- Management played favorites - Work-Life balance was poor -Lots of Executive and Sr level turnover which causes dysfunction and constant change, Rarely any stability after internal change or acquisition - Turnover and changing priorities led to those who stayed to take on considerable more work - Sometimes unfair expectations around priorities and workload

Pros

None, very deceptive executive management. Promises the world. Does not deliver.

Cons

Constant reorganizations ( every 6 to 9 months) especially at the sr level. Me too products.
