Azenta Life Sciences reviews

* Less than stellar management, no planning, poor project management * Abusive management with a "now" mentality, especially management in Indianapolis. Their failure to plan becomes everyone else's problem. This was not a once here and there kind of thing. It was daily. They also have no compunction about lying. Repeatedly, and then wonder why someone does not trust them. * Awful C-level personalities - like caricatures of failed humans * Directors who duck out when large infrastructure changes are being made and failing to support their teams * Turnover rates that are like a revolving door. Good people leave because of bad management. Many that could have been great, but the company doesn't want great, they want "yes people." C-level management can't have stars that shine as bright as they do (that's called sarcasm). * HR is clueless. The onboarding process there was overly complicated and seldom was successful in it's entirety. We had an amazing Director in HR and she was there than a year before she found work elsewhere. * Clueless and no connection with the people who make the company work. Townhall Meetings and All Hands Meetings were just talking heads getting to talk at people for an hour or so. * They don't like training because it costs money. Know what else costs money? People who aren't trained and then break something or cause a freezer to thaw. That all costs money. They don't care.

-No designated sick days -Stingy federal holiday schedule -Forced to use PTO or unpaid time off for snow days or other site closures due to emergencies -First minute of orientation, obvious focus on how Azenta values shareholders. No emphasis on employee value -Other sites get large holiday outing budget while some sites are completely ignored -No room for salary negotiation, despite paying an offensively low wage -Live in an expensive city? Wages are not adjusted to reflect that. You get paid the same as someone working in the middle of nowhere -Understaffed to the point when one person takes a vacation, everyone takes on the job of 3 people -cheap cheap cheap company trying to exploit the labor of people who earned college degrees and have student loans, car payments, rent, utilities, groceries to pay. With the wage you earn at Azenta, you get to prioritize the bills you need to pay and only pay the ones you can afford with your measly paycheck. -No one hides the fact that Azenta doesn’t care about its employees -Excessive use of unprofessional corporate lingo especially when it comes time for layoffs. All effort goes into avoiding calling it a layoff and downplaying what just happened.
