IDEXX Laboratories reviews

Beats the bread line, barely Executive management has a handle on managing ahead of the downturn but leadership team is AWFUL, HORRID, completely without merit and vision. They apparently care little that the leadership team across the board has little idea what's happening in the world of their science other than biology and chemistry. Granted there are a few who can do their job pretty well but it is DEFINITELY not the case in general. Just read the other comments, they are consistent in critical remarks about leadership and competitive initiative. During my tenure of more than 3 years I was rarely given one bit of positive feedback. Completely negative, received top bonus pay though, indicating work was perceived as excellent but never once told by anyone "Good Job". Absolutely worst company to work for in my entire lengthy career.

I was recruited to work at the headquarters in Westbrook about 7 months ago. The benefits package for full-time employees is very competitive. I had been concerned about the work/life balance, especially after reading reviews here on glassdoor.com. Those concerns were unfounded, and I have found that IDEXX has extremely flexible working conditions. I have had the opportunity to participate in interesting projects that have enhanced my skill set. I find my supervisor to be approachable and open to new ideas and suggestions. I have not been "micro-managed" and instead, have a great deal of autonomy in my role. My knowledge base is trusted by my supervisor, but I am encouraged to ask questions if needed. Overall, I am extremely happy with my decision to come to IDEXX! The company is continuing to grow, and it's fantastic that such a stable company exists in Southern Maine.
