Pros
The people I worked alongside were wonderful (excluding management). Benefits are decent, and I gained valuable experience.
Cons
The scores of team leads and quasi managers constantly create an incredibly toxic, fear based environment. They will call you out for past mistakes in front of the team, and punish every small mistake in front of the team. The company should focus less on the insane amount of intermediate busy-work and reduce the workload. Perhaps the biggest draw-back of working as a Study Manager here is the complete lack of integrity shown bybupperband middle management . Managers and team leads (which out number study managers at this point) demand dishonest practices, and that all mistakes are covered up. Honesty should be the cornerstone of any biotechnology company, and is sorely lacking at Azenta. The company uses and implements so many outdated and poorly conceived processes, creating useless busy work. Shady and abrupt layoffs also plague this team, so beware! You may not have a job tomorrow no matter how happy your clients are. Have fun in that working environment. I am so happy I left.
