Integrated DNA Technologies reviews

Horrible pay. I left and got a 40% raise. A 40% raise. Granted, I went to one of the top paying tech companies in the area, but a 40% raise!!! Little room for advancement. Management at the top is all backdoor meetings with little visibility. Our quarterly meetings were held once a year. Never once had a conversation with the owner. At my new job - a much larger company, I already had dinner with the CEO and had meaningful conversations with all the top execs. I heard through the grapevine that they are now outsourcing jobs to India.

company prioritizes profits over mission. executive leadership does not deeply understand the chemistry of synthetic oligo manufacturing- most hold MBAs, or engineering degrees. few have molecular biology degrees. since being acquired the company has not staffed executive positions internally leading to a top down cultural shift that has pushed away many veteran employees. career mobility is virtually none. there are several people in the engineering department who's title hasn't changed in > 10 years. they stayed because it is a stable and challenging place to work and historically had a great culture, but since being acquired, much of that has been lost.
