Look Elsewhere Before Proceeding! - Manufacturing Technician II Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies Employee Review

- Pay is very low (for engineers with a BS and/or MS degree, FDBT pays 19-21 $/hr, which is approximately 45K-53K per year -- this is lower than any other entry-level engineering position available on the market). - Company is internally not prepared for 24-hr operations (most nightshifts don't do any actual processing and only involve daily/weekly/monthly/equipment cleaning of rooms); there is no training available for nightshifts (for a technician to perform certain tasks, they have to complete in-person trainings, which are not available during second shift) - Internal transfer of position between departments (e.g., Manufacturing, Process Sciences, Process Development, etc.) or between shifts (i.e., day and night shifts) are rare if not impossible. Despite being told during the interview process that people receive incremental promotions every 6 months to a year, this is not the case. Workers are kept in their current position for >1 year (~>2 yrs) without any change in title or income. - Not a flexible schedule for shift workers. You still have to work national holidays, and working nights kills all personal life (for only a 15% pay increase).
