Pros
1. Good work - Life balance. 2, Current manager hands off and very pragmatic. 3, Good recognition program for years of service beginning at the 5 year anniversary. 4. Very good knowledgeable people working at this company, especially many of the long term employees (15+ years). 5. Very good training offerings that align with one's position both on-site and off. 6. Current manager very liberal about participation in vendor supplied off-site training if offering is aligned with your current position. 7. Lots of international travel with good experience working with Bio-Rad employees abroad.
Cons
1. Diffiicult to get things done with current management. Lots of discussion and not much action. 2. Very slow to change. 3. Very poor (non existent) career guidance management program except for only a few that management perceives as rising stars. 4, Extremely challenging to change perceptions of upper management regarding one's capabiltiies and working relationships with others no matter what you do. If you get a bum rap, best to look elsewhere to advance your career.
