Quirky and cheap.

Pros

Growth of Company. Mom & Pop feel at Corporate. Great, friendly people. Good customer awareness and pride in service. Good salary. Lots of opportunities to improve things.

Cons

Getting way more political as it grows. Desperately need a COO. Old-fashioned and slow to react. Will never agree to new-fangled concepts like tele-working, or other benefits current in the marketplace. Need a Company strategy other than "double in size in 5 years". Little money to improve things. Need to be more "value" focused and less "cheap".

Pros

Very stable company. People tend to stay for very long times with the company. The job I have now allows a lot of flexibility to deal with other things going on in my life at the moment.

Cons

With the stability comes difficulty for growth within the company. From where I am at now, it is difficult to move up and the annual pay raise is just about enough to keep up with inflation.

Pros

Job stability and mobility from one group to another are the prime reasons for working at Bio-Rad. The company has experienced unprecedented growth in the past decade and has tremendously increased its market portfolio in the arena of clinical diagnostics which is a production and development group, which hosts a number of positions.

Cons

The salary offered for a position is somewhat lower than what other companies pay for in the comparable market and the increase in salary is hard to come by.
