Pros

Bio-Techne is a publicly traded company and has been on a growth trajectory for the past 10 years. Recently voted one of Inc. Magazine’s Best Lead Companies of 2021, our leadership team believes in promoting empowerment, passion, innovation, and collaboration. BITS (Bio-techne Information Technology Services) is stacked with great people, amazing leadership, fabulous culture and tremendous opportunity. For people who want to grow in their career, this is a great place to do it. There is always something interesting going on and the comradery across teams fosters growth and advancement for those who desire to achieve great things. The leadership team genuinely listens to the voices of its employees. That is not to say that the business will immediately change it's policies based on every bit of feedback, but considerations are given and each voice is valued (much more than you would think in a corporation of this size). On top of all of this, Bio-techne offers Tuition and Certification Reimbursement for those who are in school or continuing their education. The company has an annual employee bonus plan with potential for spot bonuses and a generous time off policy in addition to a flexible work schedule with 2 days from home if desired. For me this has been a great experience and I look forward to what the future holds for our team. It really is everything you want to make of it.

Cons

It is hard for some to thrive in an environment where the expectations are centered around a business that is beholden to stakeholders and fiscal performance. If you need a big hug from your employer each day while you drink your warm milk and cookies cuddled up in a snuggly blanket at home, this is not the place for you.

Pros

Good flexibility Solid if not great benefits

Cons

Pay is low, which causes a lot of good employees to leave. Every quarter you get to listen to a talk about how much money the company is making, every one on one with your supervisor you get told there’s no money for raises. HR operates like and sometimes even outright says everyone is disposable, yet somehow they can’t fill positions. 3 years makes you a senior employee in most ops groups.

Pros

The highest quality employees are always asking themselves 'what can I do to make a difference'? If having a meaningful impact sounds like something you're after, and you want to put in the work to get there, Bio-Techne hits the sweet spot. Bio-Techne is small enough that it allows your efforts and innovation to change the company. But the company is also large enough where it can change the world. Bio-Techne has had rock solid stock and earnings performance for many years, was just listed in Inc. Magazine's Best-Led Companies, and the company provides a wonderful space for leaders and employees to innovate and change. And the best part is your efforts go towards leading research dealing with life science challenges—you can make the world a better place. Success at Bio-Techne means you must bring you’re A-game, and be prepared to surround yourself with the colleagues who will challenge you and push you to be your best. Personally, I have never felt as valued as I am at Bio-Techne.

Cons

If you're looking for a company whose first mission is to take care of the individual wants and desires of each employee over the company as a whole, Bio-Techne may not be your spot. Employee voices are welcomed and valued, but decisions are also based on what is best for Bio-Techne. There is so much opportunity to make an impact here, but I've also seen some people unsuccessful here when they get trapped exclusively in the "what's in it for me" mentality.
