Pros

If you’re willing to throw self care and your mental health away, this job is great and gets the bills paid. The job itself is great! I feel like I have purpose in healthcare. The management is horrendous. The training department is great. Very thorough! But getting trained on new tasks is determined by your supervisor remembering you exist.

Cons

Management needs formal training. There’s no regulation for how employees receive promotions or raises. The expectations are unclear and not followed. They rather hire outside the company, than promote employees within. There’s favoritism and restriction on supervisors to be able to promote based on merit and take care of their technicians. They care more about numbers than the technicians themselves. Meaning they don’t follow their own core values. Supervisors should be supported by management when wanting to promote their staff. Not questioned and doubted. There’s maybe 1 good supervisor at this company. Everyone else will use fire at will heavily versus creating a personal improvement plans and working with their staff. They’ve cultivated an oddly cliquey environment instead of the mentality that we’re all one team and should be here for everyone’s growth. Not to mention the amount of HR complaints that get “resolved”. The employees live in fear that they could lose their job any day at 3pm.

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.
