I really don't know how to feel

Anonymous employee

Pros

My coworkers are great and my manager was too (before she got laid off). Not a ton of micromanaging.

Cons

Third round of lay-offs in the past year make life hard. The CEO last year made more than Target's CEO (which is obsurd) but he isn't willing to take a pay cut to prevent laying off of people "because it would look bad to shareholders" is what we were told. I enjoy being able to do science and the only reason I haven't left is because I feel like this is the only place I can do the type of work I do in the Twin Cities without having to go back to academia and take an almost 50% paycut. Do better Bio-Techne.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, good people, robust portfolio of science, ok work/life balance

Cons

Upper management continues to make decisions that hamstring the science (ex. letting CRISPR license expire while developing gene editing technology, wants to expand into C> but lays off C> team), layoffs two years in a row in December, <50% trust in upper management in company survey, shareholders rejected the outrageous executive compensation plan so hard it ended up in the Star Tribune (Nov 1 2023)
