Pros

Potential is there, comprehensive market offerings developed, some great mid-level management, global presence

Cons

Senior leadership failings particularly CEO, HR, Bioa which impact quality of decisions and lobg-term impact on business. Sub-standard HR approaches in employee engagement and benefits stem from top. Inability to resolve continues to erode ability to perform and new QIMS oversight and bottom line focus will create even more difficult environment.

Pros

Discretional leave instead of PTO

Cons

Lack of Upper Management Engagement: There seems to be a noticeable disconnect between upper management and lower-level employees. This gap often results in a lack of understanding or appreciation for the challenges faced by the staff on the ground, leading to decisions that may not always be in the best interest of those carrying out day-to-day tasks. Extended Work Hours: Employees are frequently expected to work beyond the standard operational hours. While dedication to one's role is commendable, the regular expectation for extended work periods without adequate compensation or recognition can lead to burnout and dissatisfaction. Ineffective Communication Between Business and IT Departments: A significant challenge within the company is the lack of reliable communication channels between the business and IT departments. This has often led to misalignments in project goals, deadlines, and expectations. The absence of a dedicated bridge or liaison to facilitate clear and consistent communication exacerbates this issue, affecting project outcomes and team morale.

Pros

The people you suffer with leads to great camaraderie. Common knowledge that certain leaders are toxic and a few good people that try to buffer the challenges. Love connecting with old colleagues to see how much better life is once they leave.

Cons

Too many to list unfortunately. Steer clear. Constant layoffs and churn but somehow the most vile of people still are in leadership roles. Direct manager are often good but the directors and especially GM of genomics are more than willing to sacrifice team members to let their egos stay in tact. Poor pay and agree with other comments that this has now become a sweatshop that manages to retain employees that have no other option to find work. Please be kind to yourselves and explore other career options to get out of this toxic environment.
