      After Many Years at Bio-Rad

      Procurement specialist

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Bio-Rad is a great place to work, The potential for hard working people is great, Management does care about your future and your career. I would recommend Bio-Rad to anyone coming out of school and wanting to learn and grow. The work life balance can be good depending on who you work for and if that division or department is considered essential or if it is Hybrid or fully remote.

      Cons

      Very Slow to change. The pay is not excellent, but it can be a good starting place. I only wish that they would listen more to their employees. They say that they listen, and they do all sorts of surveys and ask the right questions. But when it comes to changing and actually following thru with anything that the employees ask for that is almost impossible. Management can all work remotely whenever they want to. But employees are held to either remote fully or Hybrid 2 days a week remotely even within the same division.

      We appreciate you sharing your feedback. It sounds like things are working out pretty well for you here and we're glad to know that you feel supported by your management. It is concerning however that you feel there is a lack of followthrough. We do have a very clear policy in place that accounts for remote, hybrid, and essential roles and we understand your frustration that the policy is not always being followed. As we continue to work on that, we hope that will also allow us to return to more large-scale gatherings and other events like you've mentioned. Please continue to share your feedback clearly with your managment and via our Engagement Survey. We are listening. Sometimes change just takes time.

      It sounds like things did not go as well as we would have hoped for you at Bio-Rad, but thank you for your feedback. It's gratifying to hear that you mostly enjoyed working with your team. We can't have a dialogue, and Glassdoor isn't a great space for delving into the issues you had with your manager, but we hope that you felt empowered to try and address the issues as best as possible while you were here. Best of luck with what comes next for you.
