Pros

Used to be great when Millipore was not in the picture. Solid company, great coworkers, benefits e.t.c.

Cons

When Sigma was sold to Merck, and Boston-based Millipore was chosen to be it’s North American headquarters, all hell broke loose. Whoever chose to stay to the bitter end, earned the severance packages by being severely ignored and mistreated by the Millipore based management. They didn’t treat us as coworkers, but as competitors. Did I mention that they were clueless? Being ones a company many times smaller and inferior to Sigma, they didn’t know how to manage such a big and sophisticated structure. They knew it too, and we were the scapegoats. It was very painful to watch our ones great company being rundown and mismanaged by incapable and insecure people.

Pros

A strong entry-level opportunity that allowed me to build a solid foundation in the biotechnology industry. I appreciated the job stability, benefits, and structured work environment. The position also gave me valuable experience working in a regulated laboratory, following SOPs, maintaining accurate documentation, and contributing to the safety testing of biologics and vaccines.

Cons

One challenge of the Associate Scientist role was that advancement became limited after reaching a certain level unless a higher-level position became available. The work could also involve long or unpredictable hours because some assays had strict timelines and could not always be paused. At times, overtime was restricted even when an assay required additional attention, which made scheduling and workload management more difficult.
