Not a Good Company to Consider

Pros

Selling products that could help cure disease was a motivating factor for me.

Cons

I wouldn’t recommend Bio-Techne to you if you can find other career options. It’s a hard company to get anything done, unfortunately, so that was frustrating and was a waste of time. The company has got more soulless and corporate over the past several years and results have been poor in the current political environment and since company leadership changed. IT has been a mess for a long time and doing better digitally doesn’t seem likely unless something major changes. Our new IT leader didn’t address any of the people on the team that are miserable to work for and to work with or are enabling it all, so I’m not hopeful much will change. It’s kind of just the same IT Boys’ club holding the company back. I didn’t feel welcome at the company based on the people in charge.

Pros

Good coworkers and decent benefits

Cons

Bad management who only knows how to blame predecessors and shift numbers to make them look less incompetent. The team keeps running acquisitions to the ground including one they paid 275M (who know how much in losses) and got 15M in a questionable micro caps stock in return……

Pros

Good place to start your career. Plenty of entry level positions. Benefits are fairly good. Many kind people. A wide variety of labs to build experience in. Get your foot in the door and transferring to another position of greater interest will be easier, as they guarantee internal candidates get an interview.

Cons

I don't have much experience with other corporations, however I feel many of my complaints would likely be fairly industry-standard for a similarly sized or larger company. The CEO is paid way too much, more than 3M, Target, Best Buy, etc. which is ridiculous for a company of a much smaller size. They do not negotiate salary increases for internal candidates, so negotiate for as much as you can get right away. I was placed on a performance improvement plan, and subsequently fired, by a supervisor that only became a supervisor a few months prior. My management did not speak to me about it at all unless I went out of my way to talk to them, and even then, they offered no support. My supervisor's word was 100% valid, and my perspective had no value.
