Pros

My immediate colleagues are supportive

Cons

This company is starting to show real cracks. Constant murmur of more job cuts and it's always back office - those we need to do our jobs. It just means more admin for sales but not enough hours in the day to do it. It's fine for the CEO to sit there and tell us the numbers are achievable, he's not done it before (and from what I understand, former companies under his control have consistently performed worse and morale has gone down the toilet so why should we expect anything different here). It's super high stress, long hours, average pay and no opportunity to grow in the job. Management recently purchased the UK biobank which is fine for elevating our revenue but it takes a big customer away from the UK team as it'll soon be an internal customer. Targets won't change. I would only recommend joining this company if you hate yourself and have no life goals.

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.
