Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Terrible place to work, has never been a good place to work, but wow has it seriously gotten bad. Terrible management at all levels. Very little to no training. Toxic work culture. Boring company with no direction or pulse. The new CEO and upper management here should be ashamed of themselves. Company has done nothing but get cheaper and cheaper and make cut after cut. Management provides no support, is useless, lazy, and provides very little training while the people below them do everything and their managers take all of the credit. Nobody knows how to manage anything here. Departments have terrible communication. Management also completely ignores serious daily operational issues and because of this, most departments can barely function properly and no one ever knows what’s going on at this place. The lack of communication from managers to their employees is unreal to say the least and you will be in the dark all the time about what’s really going on behind the scenes here. No job or career growth AT ALL here if you don't work in the lab. Management does nothing but lie to you to keep you chugging away without you ever receiving a real raise or promotion while you keep slaving away at your dead-end job. Work is monotonous, unfulfilling and completely unrewarding. There is no reward for hard work or being a good employee. Also HR here is completely useless and unprofessional and does not have your back at all and will lie right to your face. Don’t work here unless you want to be trapped with a dead-end job and be nothing but lied to by management. By the end of my time here, all I saw was people being let go left and right with each successive round of layoffs after layoffs, while teams go completely unsupported without enough staff resulting in many people just quitting and leaving and many others taking extended leaves while the remainder of us are left here to suffer picking up all of their work. Work from home policy: Was WFH for all non-lab members since Covid until upper management forced everyone back into the office for no reason

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.
