Business Outlook

Pros

Strong and genuine company-wide drive to develop blood test products

Cons

Very intense culture. Demanding work due to the drive for growth. No sustainable structure for employees to manage their work. Overworking (10+ days plus weekends) and increase of responsibilties without recognition or reward. Teams are competitive and often point fingers / talk behind back instead of being accountant and working together.

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice perks like lunch and dinner, snacks, drinks. Gym on site, as well as massage chairs, coffee machines, badminton tables, and nice walkable paths around business park.

Cons

Pay is low, employees are not rewarded for performance. Whether you over-perform or under-perform, the compensation is about even between peers. Benefits are not 100% paid, employees must contribute to premiums. Culture in lab is bitter and petty. Management is somewhat out of touch with front line employees. Morale is low among workers. Accountability for employees is almost non-existent with no disciplinary action taken nearly 80% of the time. Time off accrual is very weak compared to other employers.
