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.

Thank you for sharing your comments. It's gratifying to hear that our benefits and the stability we offer our employees are working well for you and your family. It's true that employee needs are constantly evolving. We regularly review our compensation packages to stay competetive in our markets, but if there are specifics related to compensation or career development you would like to address we encourage you to have those discussions with your manager. Thanks for being a long-term member of Team Bio-Rad!

Your feedback is appreciated. Bonuses are based on a variety of factors including company performance, so they vary year-to-year. While we do offer work from home options, it is dependent on company and team needs, as well as the nature of specific positions. Good luck in the next chapter of your career!
