Pros

For me Moldev is the closest thing to family. The people I work with are smart, caring and glad to help each other. Great team work. The work is challenging. Management has always been good to me over the years - concerned about diversity, health care and employee well being.

Cons

In this era we want to hire new employees. The competition is stiff. So we are often over tasked.

Business Outlook

Pros

Molecular Devices is very committed to hiring, promoting and advocating acceptance in terms of race, sexual orientation, and women. A lot of programs through the parent company, Danaher, to foster a culture of inclusion.

Cons

In my opinion goals across most of the jobs are very aggressive and often unsustainable since they're always adjusted upwards based on what was reached the previous year. Work life balance can suffer.
