We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. Our employees tend to stick around, which we consider a metric of success that allows us to benefit from an experienced workforce. It sounds like you have some ideas for how we can change, and we'd love to hear more. A word of advice: Sometimes change comes easy and sometimes the process is gradual. Please continue to share your thoughts and ideas.

Pros

Company is sinking, so no pros to add.

Cons

Stifling company culture. Lots of new people added in recent years who talk a lot and do nothing. Lack of accountability at every level. People coast along and get paid, but don't do anything to pull company out of tailspin it's in. Nothing new in Diagnostics in years and every attempt to bring new products to market fails due to incompetence and mismanagement.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. It sounds like you may have been part of the restructuring that regrettably happened this February. We hope that you were able to share your thoughts in a constructive manner during your exit interview. We understand that it can be very difficult to make a big change after 20 years and we wish you every success.

It's great to hear you had such a positive experience with your management. We regularly review our benefits and we're confident that Bio-Rad remains competitive in our markets. Bonuses are based on a number of factors including company performance, so they do vary as Bio-Rad experiences the ups and downs of our industry.
