Pros
The people at the heart of the company (formerly Celera) are fantastic--from Mfg. to QC to Shipping, all great people. Work/Life balance is great.
Cons
Management does not share anything with employees until rumors have been swirling for so long that everyone is on edge. Ex: Berkeley Heart Lab is being axed from Quest--nobody knew. Vacation time is absolutely terrible--6 paid holidays? Who does that? Time clocks rounded to the minute? Absolutely demoralizing. I've heard similar things from others with Quest who work (or have worked) in Quest lab services. Definitely NOT one of the "best companies to work for." Steer clear.
