Pros

Bio-Techne is a publicly traded company and has been on a growth trajectory for the past 10 years. Recently voted one of Inc. Magazine’s Best Lead Companies of 2021, our leadership team believes in promoting empowerment, passion, innovation, and collaboration. BITS (Bio-techne Information Technology Services) is stacked with great people, amazing leadership, fabulous culture and tremendous opportunity. For people who want to grow in their career, this is a great place to do it. There is always something interesting going on and the comradery across teams fosters growth and advancement for those who desire to achieve great things. The leadership team genuinely listens to the voices of its employees. That is not to say that the business will immediately change it's policies based on every bit of feedback, but considerations are given and each voice is valued (much more than you would think in a corporation of this size). On top of all of this, Bio-techne offers Tuition and Certification Reimbursement for those who are in school or continuing their education. The company has an annual employee bonus plan with potential for spot bonuses and a generous time off policy in addition to a flexible work schedule with 2 days from home if desired. For me this has been a great experience and I look forward to what the future holds for our team. It really is everything you want to make of it.

Cons

It is hard for some to thrive in an environment where the expectations are centered around a business that is beholden to stakeholders and fiscal performance. If you need a big hug from your employer each day while you drink your warm milk and cookies cuddled up in a snuggly blanket at home, this is not the place for you.

Pros

Good flexibility Solid if not great benefits

Cons

Pay is low, which causes a lot of good employees to leave. Every quarter you get to listen to a talk about how much money the company is making, every one on one with your supervisor you get told there’s no money for raises. HR operates like and sometimes even outright says everyone is disposable, yet somehow they can’t fill positions. 3 years makes you a senior employee in most ops groups.

Pros

Incredibly great people across multiple departments that you will get to work with. There is a gym that you can use and has pretty much everything you need.

Cons

Pay is well below industry standard. Most talented employees leave after working a year or two since they have the "Bio-Techne" name on their resume they will be able to go to a competitor that will pay them industry standard starting out and will be valued. CEO is beyond outdated on his views, doesn't budge on offering flexible work from home options to those it could really benefit. Its a decent job starting out, but little incentive to stick around.
