Pros

There are many opportunities for professional development. The company takes investment in their employees very seriously and listens to the interests and goals of its workers. Also, the work environment is highly collaborative and our colleagues are highly competent.

Cons

There is a disconnect with upper management that leads to mistrust and sometimes resentment. This seems to be changing for the better. Also, the paid time off is quite low compared to other companies.

Pros

Great products, well known & respected brand.

Cons

Owned by Danaher to runs a bit too lean, incompetent senior management that does not understand the industry, major gaps in product portfolio with advanced staining reagents, a lot of cronyism, and everybody is concerned about moving up in the company, not what's best for the organization, customer, or employees.
