Beckman Coulter Diagnostics reviews

Running us lean. Feel like I cant breathe everytime I am at work. Ever since Danaher acquired Microscan, we've been overworked. We do not replace those weve fired or retired. We lack the appropriate resources and they just load us up with more to do. Ive also noticed less and less emphasis on quality. The company is primarily focused on releasing product ontime/early and prefer shortcuts as long as deadlines are met. The salary is also subpar. Especially considering I've been here 15 plus years. You pick up new responsibilities and work with no positive returns. No promotion opportunities, movement.

Under Danaher umbrella Microscan became very lean, in product and employees. Good employees are leaving left and right and management is not doing jack about it. Corporation and VPs preach about retaining employees and hiring within, then I see new employees hired with much greater pay than those that have done a great job here for years. HR does not even keep up with the current economy, new talent cannot thrive or even start a life here in Sacramento at their current pay rate. Communicating with senior management all the way to VP is pointless! No one listens and no one cares until everything is falling apart. Production equipment is outdated decades ago and is not replaced until critical failures occur, then company pays out the rear for rentals and requests emergency funding and implementing costing much more than if it was replaced at appropriate intervals. Short staffed all the time, list of projects keeps growing like a tumor yet no one else is hired and a lot of people are retiring soon.
