Pros

Laid back, easy work. A lot of nice people.

Cons

This company suffers from zero accountability at every level. Projects are routinely over budget and delivered late, with no meaningful consequences or course corrections. Leadership fosters a toxic environment where blame is the norm and support is nonexistent. Due to the inability to attract or retain top talent, teams are filled with inexperienced engineers and project managers who are set up to fail. The result? Half-baked products that barely meet customer expectations. The only offerings that hold any ground in the market are low-tech, commoditized products—or instruments acquired through startup acquisitions. Innovation from within is virtually nonexistent. If you’re looking for a place to grow your skills or work on high-quality, impactful products, look elsewhere.

It sounds like you have lots of ideas and experience that can help us improve, so we'd encourage you to think about how you can contribute to help Bio-Rad grow and take action! It may not be easy work, but hopefully you would find that much more rewarding and in line with your expectations. It would also help us improve our culture and execution. In short, we're all accountable for what we do here at Bio-Rad!
