Pros

I have found it a friendly place to work, If you are Flexible and willing to put yourself out when needed you will do well. Bioquell tend to promote within the company if possible and some people are encouraged to go for jobs that they may have felt out of reach. They have a sick scheme which goes above the basic government requirement, and a decent death in service benefit. They are flexible to personal circumstances.

Cons

Some staff seem to have to many bosses which causes problems. Managers and section leaders don't always have full control of their departments because higher management often overrule decisions. The flexible and skillful staff tend to get all the training on new products etc, but theknowledge should be spread around, because one person who knows everything goes off sick, no one else knows what to do!

Pros

Travelling was enjoyable, and the techs all generally enjoyed a great camaraderie.

Cons

1. Expected to front the funds for your meals, gas/tolls while traveling, and if you were lucky they paid you back at the end of the month on time. These are people traveling ~75% and making under $45K. 2. Turnover was high. Work was hard and compensation small. 3. Major layoffs occurred this year. People that weren't laid off generally jumped ship. 4. ZERO support from headquarters in the UK. Lead time on spare parts, if you could ever get them, was at least a month. The technology is over a decade behind that of competitors. 5. Expected to be in the office if you weren't on the road. "on the road" usually consisted of 60-70 hour work weeks starting with 6AM monday flights, but they made us come in 8-5 regardless if we were not travelling. 6. Logistics department had zero understanding of what it was like to travel. They would cheap out and give you a 2 star fleabag hotel instead of a decent one over a $10.00/night difference. A nonstop flight was unheard of - their bottom line was more important than letting staff enjoy time with their families. 3 layovers was not out of the ordinary. 7. Financial controller at the time was rude, arrogant, and nasty.
