Pros

The day for my role was the only thing that kept me there. Some of my team members were great to work with.

Cons

The day for my role was the only thing that kept me there. I was hired a year ago and after about 6 months could see the facade for what it was. First, my team was incredibly small and no one seemed to care. Yet we were expected to operate as if we had more people and more expectations piled on every other day. Corporate starting jumping ship in 2023 and 2024. The Corporate structure is an illusion. Money is constantly being wasted on ambiguous "perks" that no one has time to use. We got a foosball table and coffee machines but the techs don't make enough to live on. The HR department down plays the extravagant amount of turn over by blaming it on attendance and sicknesses. The truth is no one wants to work there because of the pay. There were 100 people laid off last month because the CEO promised the shareholders annual bonuses. People Azenta actually needed were let go with no warning except an ominous email sent out after hours about a "transition" coming. Profit is priority and Corporate doesn't care who they have to step on to get it. Vendors and other sites suffer because the the bills are not being paid on time. The town halls are a joke because nothing important ever gets done. It's just hot air and fancy words being spoken by people who already have too much money.

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.
