Pros

The only reason to work here is to get a good foundation and understand the methods of a proven player within the biotech/pharma industry.

Cons

The team I worked with was awesome but there is no communication between middle management on project status. One day we are working on a particular project and the next day we switch and just to keep things interesting we switch back on the third day. Too reactive and not proactive. Maybe its the lack of resources and the fact that decisions are made by a bunch of suits that have no clue about the actual work and only care about the bottom line.

Pros

Products provide superior staining, making for fast and reliable patient diagnosis. Produts are considered "top of the line". Impressive technical apptitude from the support staff.

Cons

Poor managment. Technicians are are given all the responsibilities with none of the authority for most situations. Expected to put company before family. Employees are asked to provide ways to improve operations, but when they do, thery are chastised and reprimanded for not being a "team player". In short, the company structure is a "Comedy of Contradictions".

Pros

Helping people in need Good benefits package

Cons

Ongoing retrenchments and no thought put into retaining people with experience and redeploying. Spending a lot of money when people are retrenched and in many cases they come back as contractors.
