Supportive night shift team, but poor management issues

Lab tech ii

Business Outlook

Pros

Great team of night shift techs, excellent cameraderie and communication.

Cons

Lab management is entirely made up of corporate yes-men, most of whom are cousins, who take out their frustration on anyone below them. Poor PTO plan, no opportunities for development.

Strong collaboration and culture, but pay and flexibility lag

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Collaboration: The cross-functional collaboration here is genuinely one of the stronger aspects of working at Azenta. Whether you're working across departments or geographies, people are generally willing to show up and work through problems together. It doesn't feel siloed the way a lot of companies do. Culture: The culture feels human. People actually seem to care about each other, which isn't something you can say everywhere. There's a level of psychological safety that makes it easier to speak up, take initiative, and do good work without constantly watching your back. Leadership: Leadership is visible and accessible in a way that's not always the case at companies this size. There's a genuine effort to communicate direction and keep people informed, and you can tell the people at the top actually care about the mission.

Cons

Compensation & Benefits: Compensation and benefits haven't kept pace with the market. For the level of skill and experience the company expects, the total package doesn't always reflect that. If you're coming from a larger org or comparing offers, it can be a sticking point. Onsite Presence: The expectation around onsite presence feels out of step with where the industry has landed post-pandemic. Flexibility is limited, and for roles where remote work is fully viable, the requirement to be in the office regularly doesn't always have a clear business justification. IT Equipment: You don't get much say in your hardware or software setup. For people who do their best work with specific tools or have preferences around operating systems and devices, the one-size-fits-all IT approach can be a real friction point, especially in roles that are heavily computer-dependent.

Business Outlook

Pros

The physical work itself isn't bad. Typical lab work for a clinical lab (QC, Extractions, LP, Sequencing) If you are working for NGS RUO team you will plenty of chances for growth and new opportunities.

Cons

The raises are max 2.5% every year. Which given how inflation has been higher than 2.5% since I have started. Everyone is essentially getting a pay cut. If you are on the clinical team there is zero chance for growth and you will be stuck with the same salary and position for years.
