Pros

Used to be stable, but they have consistently been doing layoffs. Can't really think of any pros other than the workload is light. Bio-Rad feels like the place you go when you don't have any other job offers.

Cons

Cheap company; leadership is a bunch of clueless old men; they don't know how to stay current and keep up with competitors. They force a 3 day RTO (return to office) while not going themselves. There is no free food in the office. Those who have been at the company a long time are allowed to stay remote. There is no accountability for managers who waste millions on initiatives that go nowhere.

That's a lot to unpack, especially in an online review but thank you for sharing your perspective. While experiences can vary by role and time, we take feedback like this seriously and use it to focus on where improvements are needed. For example, the right balance of remote and onsite work is an area of ongoing discussion and debate--among companies globally, not just at Bio-Rad. We wish you the best in the next stage of your career.

Pros

I love my co workers and the ability to make my customers happy. Benefits are alright and I do like the products.

Cons

Modern marketing is non existent and the company has been taken over by sweater vest tech bros who feel phony at best. This company is too large to innovate or be nimble, yet too small to acquire new things to sell. Salaries are just so low now that I might need to leave, then come back just to get a pay raise. I’m seeing similar jobs posted for 20% more base than I make 10 years in. No transparency on advancements and annual raises do not reflect effort and making too close to plan on sales just sets you up for failure in the next year. I’d say use this company for a few years then move on.
