What is the hiring process like at Eurofins?

Good smooth hiring process in general

Should have more positions open

If you are new to the job market and need 'experience' you'll probably get hired and can put lab work on your resume. Most of the people you work with will be hard workers as overtime is essentially a requirement of the job.

Essentially everything about the job. Locations are understaffed and employees are overworked. While not communicated during the hiring process, holiday hours are not a favor to the company, they are expected. Overtime is a daily occurrence, expect to work at least two extra hours each day. Management will pretend to listen to their employees, promising raises and bonuses that will never come all while maintaining a toxic workplace culture. Turn over rate is high as a result of promoting hostile people to high positions, who likely got there as a result of driving all other employees away. There is little to no room for upward growth and very little applicable experience will be gained.

-Decent pay -Good interview process -Great way to get experience

-Must stay in post/job for 2 years, unable to change teams or anything unless extreme reasoning

Good for gaining experience Easy interview process Quick response back

High turnover rate Low PTO Not much work flexibility

Easy to get a job and gain experience

Completely toxic work environment that will make you lose all faith in the healthcare system

It is extremely easy to get hired and extremely difficult to get fired from any Eurofins entity. If you can pass a drug test and manage to not steal, harass colleagues, or falsify data or time sheets, you can work here forever, or as long as you're able to support yourself on a below-median salary. There are a lot of brilliant, dedicated, friendly people working for this company. I imagine that's a big reason some stay for so long. Someone is always willing to help out and someone always knows the answer. At least at my BU, there are no calendar blackouts for PTO and there are no employee productivity monitoring technologies in place for remote workers (yet).

Eurofins is the Wal-Mart of any industry it involves itself in. - Low pay, low pay, low pay. Low raises. Low/no bonuses. No profit sharing. No unions. No pensions. No stipends (wellness, home office, etc.) of any kind. Extremely basic benefits package that leaves a lot to be desired in 2024. - The company keeps buying out competitors left and right but can't manage to invest in the employees, infrastructure, or real estate it already has. Everything at my BU is shabby, from the LIMS down to the carpet. The building has constant issues such as pests, negative building pressure, extreme temperature fluctuations, power surges, etc. - Eurofins has some of the absolute worst IT infrastructure and support I've ever seen for a company this size with a global footprint. The IT portal is very difficult to navigate and ticket responses are slow or non-existent. Several layers of MFA for absolutely everything but zero support when something goes wrong. - Unless you manage to make it to a department management+ position, you will eventually reach a point where you are seen as a subject matter expert and have an ever-increasing amount of responsibility placed upon you, but will receive no requisite pay increase. I have no idea how anyone can raise a family, buy a house, plan for the future, etc. on the salaries provided by Eurofins. This company is very much one of those - here's a pizza party, here's a coffee mug with the Eurofins logo on it, now shut up about your pay - kind of places. - There are a LOT of dead-end positions at my BU. Many departments have poorly defined or entirely non-existent career ladders that allow incompetent or difficult employees to coast while the competent ones get siloed until they eventually seek more rewarding employment elsewhere. Hard work is rewarded with more hard work. - My BU also seems to prefer to hire externally rather than nurture growth/talent from within. There are very few opportunities for professional development unless you independently seek them out, outside the company. Over the past few years, I've witnessed two management positions get filled externally despite there being a number of long-standing internal applicants and was told by a director-level employee that this was, at least partially, because Eurofins had failed to prepare any of my colleagues for advancement. What an embarrassing admission to have to make. If your boss's boss is telling you that you can't advance at the company, what more do you need? There has been zero effort to shore up the career ladder or professional development opportunities within my department since then. I have been planning my exit ever since. Gilles Martin is a multi-billionaire and one of the richest men in France. Keep that in mind at your next performance review where it's determined that your work exceeds expectations but you only qualify for a 3% "merit increase." For some reason, Gilles' office sends out quarterly earnings summaries to ALL employees, as though the lab techs making $16/hr care about how many millions of dollars the shareholders made. In their 2023 Q3 statement, there was mention of "eruptions of new armed conflicts around the world" (i.e. Palestine) that will cause our business to have to "work hard to counter these global disruptions." What an insane thing to commit to writing. Billionaires are already morally bankrupt but you have to be especially detached from reality to relate abject human suffering to how your bottom line might be affected. I was really at a loss for words when I read this. Most recently, Gilles' office sent notice that a short-selling firm issued a report on Eurofins. The irony here is that there is 0% I'd have ever heard of this report if not for Gilles. The report is mostly about Gilles' alleged shady financial dealings as Eurofins' majority shareholder. Hilariously, the report actually brings up all these negative Glassdoor reviews that mention below-market compensation. I guess it's good to know our reviews are being taken into consideration somewhere, if not by Eurofins itself.

Hello there & welcome to the first day of a glorious career with Eurofins Scientific! I am aware you may not have applied yet or perhaps seeking an inspiring attestation as a final push in the right direction. However, I am hoping the pivotal moment between settling and growing has conjoined our interests. My personal journey begins early 2025 during a time when I wasn’t quite certain how to cultivate my scientific background. Gratefully I was a part of a notable healthcare facility team which was responsible for highlighting how enamored I became with my role as an Endoscopic Reprocessing preceptor for our central service department. Naturally I faced a moment of becoming apprehensive about moving forward into a new field for the first time in what certainly felt to be eons. From the interview and recruitment process to orientation and onboarding, I can definitively say there is not a single interaction, inquiry, or challenge that has made me regret my decision. Undoubtedly 4 months may not appear to be an adequate amount of time to ascertain absoluteness. Contrary to that principle it is worth mentioning that I have never felt so compelled to rave about an employer in all my career, particularly in less than one year. It is imperative to add this time with Eurofins Scientific has extended to favorable improvement in my personal life. We foster both professional and personal growth strategies in an inclusive environment which empowers employees to identify their strengths and amplify them. I have had the opportunity to meet with my global entrepreneurial leader and share a belly laugh over dog memes. I have been granted the opportunity of recognition by name from my site director! Across all departments is the climate of authentic collaboration and identifiable teamwork. The compensation is proportionate to my career path in addition to prominent benefits and employer commendations. Eurofins Scientific houses a myriad of worldwide laboratory testing services and affiliations for elevation without combating professional partiality. In conclusion, you have already taken a step in the right direction if you are reading this review. In the event you have found yourself yearning for a place to spend a substantial amount of time with great people doing epic things, we invite you to come and find out for yourself! We exude our mission, live out our vision, and accentuate our values to ensure patient safety. Eurofins Scientific envelopes approximately 63,000 staff in 60 countries, operating roughly 950 laboratories and we are ecstatic to welcome 63,001. I hope to see you there!

My only con being I can not complete a glowing review every day of the week!

Good technology adoption Great team collaboration Good exposure to latest technologies

Feedback is limited to Eurofins IT Solutions India and not other Eurofins business. Everything related to HR and finance process is worst here 1. Very bad communication process. Abruptly on last week of month, finance sends mail that salary credit date is shifted to month last day to month first day. 2. All employee benefits are gradually removed without providing for alternative. This severely impacted the take home and tax savings. Again the way it was communicated was very bad. One sudden day on the Start of financial year, finance team sends mail that benefits are removed from current financial year.

Excellent place to build skills while wearing many hats if you're early career and self motivated. Easy to get hired with frequent openings. Consider Eurofins a better-compensated graduate or post-doc experience, grow until the promotions slow, then hop ship and cash in on your growth. Benefits are OK.

Poor compensation. Negative work culture persists due to conflict-avoidant leadership allowing for poor behavior from moderate to high performers. Eurofins is a starter job, not a place you retire from.

The salary isn't good enough to warrant putting up with it

Even the business unit managers can't tell the difference between a vortex and a centrifuge. Current hiring processes put incompetent people into positions of power with insecure emotions driving a toxic environment where good science cannot be performed. Everyone knew that Amazon project was not going to pan out except for the people living in fictional fantasy with high salaried political roles in the company.
