Hello, and thanks for your review, and for your comment about how you enjoy working with your fellow employees. We feel so proud every time we hear this on Glassdoor, because it reminds us how many likeable, friendly and smart people we work with. Thank you for bringing attention to your concerns about management listening to problems identified by our capable lab technicians. We strongly encourage managers to be attentive so that their staff feels valued — and so that technical issues are caught — and we will continue to work with management teams to do so. We are proud that, in the last 6 months, have put all our managers and supervisor through management training and we will continue to build on these activities.

Thanks for your review. Do you mind sharing your location with us? This helps us know where we need to improve and what to work on — and specifically in regards to parking availability. In any swiftly growing company, parking and other logistics become harder to manage, but we’re committed to finding solutions that work for everybody. We’re disappointed to hear you weren’t satisfied with the company culture, but we’re glad that our benefits package and 401k served you well. We wish you the best in your new position.

Pros

Great co-workers, within the lab its a very positive and uplifting place to work.

Cons

There's no room to grow or progress within the company. Getting promoted takes forever, and they'll promise raises and promotions that will never come. There's no way to move up and no support or encouragement from management.
