Pros

My Co-workers are generally good people. We as a company are on the cutting edge of Genetic Testing. We have a skilled human resources team who does a good job. There is a smoothie bar/cafe that is delicious and free to employees.

Cons

There are some employees who do nothing on a daily basis and there is no one actually managing these employees to correct their bad behavior. It is obvious to everyone and really is discouraging to see these people contribute nothing yet still reap all the same perks and benefits as those who work hard. Company Morale is at an all time low. Employees are quitting and going to our competiton at a shocking rate. As people quit, They are not replaced so the workload of those that stay actually doubles or triples. This breeds internal resentment.

Pros

Stable company with established workflows, good exposure to molecular diagnostics, and an opportunity to gain experience in a high-throughput clinical laboratory environment.

Cons

Career growth opportunities are limited, and advancement can feel dependent on internal relationships rather than performance or qualifications. The workload is demanding and can become physically and mentally exhausting. In addition, some line managers could benefit from stronger leadership training, better technical understanding, and more consistent decision-making. Staffing and hiring practices also need improvement, as team fit and competency are not always assessed effectively.
