Great - For a While - Senior Medical Technologist Arup Laboratories Employee Review

LGBT+ (I started openly transitioning here❤︎ Everyone is very considerate and helpful.) Free medical appointments with onsite clinic. There were a lot of reviews complaining about drama but I have not experienced any in my work field after working here 1.5 years. There are bonuses after your preliminary period that are dependent on how busy we are. The culture at work is very laid back. There are opportunities for pay increases but not by much. That said, I don't plan on finding work elsewhere or working towards management positions. The atmosphere and convenience here are more than worth pursuing better pay-in my opinion!-elsewhere. But that may not be worth it for you.

Pay rate but as an entry level experience hire, this works well for me and is totally offset by the free Dr appointments. College Campus: the traffic around 7-8am and 3-5pm is hell. There are some fun events but sometimes that means parking is reserved and you have to plan around those days. Also some festivals shut down roads so good luck navigating that.

You can listen to music with headphones.

Terrible attendance policy. Easy to burn out if you AuDHD or any combination of Neurodivergent disabilities. If you are placed on leave and your FMLA runs out, they will take your position from you and tell you to try and get another position. When you're on leave, you can't view the internal job board unless you work with HR and a recruiter to unlock it. As the attendance policy has become more strict, 5 unapproved missed days in a rolling year as opposed to 10 when I first started, if you are placed on probation, they will use probation as a reason why you can't return to your last position or a previously held position. This used to be a great company, though with all of their changes and mandatory overtime in specimen processing, it's best to avoid specimen processing jobs unless it will help with credits for the University School programs. High chance of burning out from mandatory overtime.
