Pros

- Stable - Very friendly atmosphere where you can walk up to anyone's desk for help - People tend to stay at Bio-Rad for years and years - Recently, some of the perennially poor performing employees have left. I hope that trend continues

Cons

- A manufacturing company that happens to build software, not a software company - Lots of unnecessary paperwork in the software world - Older average age = this is the way we do things - Pay is below industry average - Each person is expected to manage too many projects

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.
