      Pros

      Great global company to work for; offer global mobility for talented staff who are interested in experiencing different cultures.

      Cons

      A global company so the inevitable early / late meetings across time zones. Decision making can be very slow due to everyone wanting to have their say and overly complicated organisational structures. Complicated dynamics between functions and project teams meaning that best practice often not adopted. Cumbersome HR processes.

      Pros

      Many talented scientists and hard workers assembled into one organization. Really nice to have. Numerous opportunities to move to different groups to gain experience in molecular diagnostics. Most projects are well funded. If you are in the right group with a good manager morale is generally high. Compensation and benefits very good.

      Cons

      There are many talented managers at the company. However, promotions tend to be made based political connections with senior managers, resulting in some incompetents being promoted up to higher management positions. Some at director level are down right stupid and have no idea of what they are doing. Some backstabbing helps with promotions as well. The organization is definitely not a meritocracy, with the CEO as the best example.

      Pros

      Great benefits, talented colleagues, motivating HR department, great management and execs and projects that you can feel proud about.

      Cons

      A few very unkind, jealous and lazy people that need to be let go. I literally had a project sabotaged by one of them. It ruined the environment for me. Such a shame because it is an amazing company to work for.
