Pros

The product is amazing and speaks for itself. They do have a sensitive temperature on company moral. Working to attract good talent (see below).

Cons

Pay is far too low for the amount of work that the field actually does. Infrastructure is not in place to handle the ordering of CG. Faxes aren't received and there is no way to know as a rep or the office when tests aren't ordered. The field is held accountable for a quota but when inside processing doesn't do their job or infrastructure is inadequate field is the one who suffers.

Pros

Solid benefits for biotech in the area. Impactful company mission.

Cons

High rate of employee turnover--people generally leave the lab for other ventures around 1-2 years. In the aftermath of the pandemic, the company culture has shifted from one of genuine care and appreciation for employees to one where the only focus is company bottom line and the profit loss if turn around times increase. Employees are increasingly asked to do more with less. Career moves up or out to other departments for lab employees are incredibly difficult even though the company claims to care about investing in employee development. If you enjoy repetitive work with little variation or opportunity to problem solve, this job would work for you. For those, especially young grads with STEM degrees, looking to do real science, look elsewhere.

Pros

They pay well because they can't keep people

Cons

They think they are super innovative but beyond the hard science its a joke. They don't know how to deal with people you would think everyone was new at their job...And you'd be right. Most of the people there are children. I read reviews about it being "cliquey" and "high schooly" and I thought well those people are obviously just really immature scorned ex employees. It's the whole place. Then the only adults that are there don't seem to understand how to be professional and positive but still be honest. (honesty is notably lacking from there core values) They pretty much just lie straight to your face so no one ever really knows whats going on or who to believe. Then throw in coronavirus testing and everyones mental health seems to be suffering severely. We go in day after day on-site and they constantly brag about the company wide infection rate but never mention the on-site rate. Of course we have a great rate you are paying most of the company to sit at home. They don't care about their lab people its just awful.
