Little job satisfaction. Low morale. Avoid.

Pros

There are some decent, hardworking people are employed by the company. The instrument technology seems well received by those who use it. It's an OK employment option if you are willing to keep your head down, and just keep plodding along.

Cons

Management and owner seem to care little about the folks who are really keeping the company going. There is a general feeling that employees are mainly working to line the pockets of the owner and a handful of upper level executives. No real promotion path. Promises are made with no intention of keeping them. Software tools and procedures that would make tasks more efficient are inexplicably absent. CEO displays unprofessional behavior at times, making it difficult to feel positive about the company.

Truly bizarre group of people run the company. High IQ's but very low maturity and questionable integrity. Barely repressed misogynistic culture,

Pros

Pay is good compared to industry No lay-offs Resources to learn about assay development Medical Benefits are good

Cons

Please read the other reviews and take them into consideration. Almost all the reviews are accurate, however the positive ones place a "spin" to make things that are negatives seem like positives. If there is a con like "the color of this place is dreary" or "HR is having trouble keeping up" or even "Going through growing pains" you can be sure that review is written by someone invested in hiring you. Time off is frowned upon here, the culture is to seem like you are constantly working. There is no collaboration because ideas are not encouraged. Employees are discouraged from leaving their cubicle or office to talk with others, and required to badge in and badge out for the day. If you happen to miss a day of exactly 9 hours or more, you will be called out (regardless of your total work hours for the week). Micromanagement is rampant and part of the culture here. In addition to the CEO controlling every monetary action (even if previously approved by finance and himself) everything an employee does is reported back to middle management as a metric. This is then funneled to upper management, and you are dealt with accordingly. There is no autonomy at MSD and no room for creativity. You are a robot that is to do only what it is programmed to do.
