Pros
Lots of experienced, bright people in the organization; there are pockets of comradery and where people genuinely enjoy working with each other. The opportunity to gain international exposure is quite high, depending upon your role. Some teams have exceptional leadership and it reflects in their associates' day to day enthusiasm and performance. You're really lucky if you happen to be one of those teams, but quite honestly, those groups are rarities or geographic-dependent. This is a good place to get into biotech / pharma / healthcare. Company manufactures high quality instruments, consumables, antibodies
Cons
Exceptionally poor work-life balance. Many ineffective managers promoted / hired based on cronyism. Minimal vacation time even for experienced hires. Management knows there are severe issue with retention and employee satisfaction and trust, but nothing seems to improve. There is continuous turnover, personnel movement, and undue stress passed onto employees. Training is either insufficient or non-existent, even to its sales associates. This company has taken the extreme stance on lean management.
