Pros

Bagel Wednesdays Free Soda Decent pay compared to other biotech companies

Cons

-The ridiculous blatant amount of favoristism within the manufacturing/production side -The amount of sexual harassment that goes on is hilarious because no one reports it, so many men I've worked alongside talking about female colleagues looks, what they'd do to them, etc. -Oh, you don't speak Tagalog? too bad, you'll be left out of ALL peer conversations, even from those from leadership -Leads don't actually lead by example, there have been numerous amounts of times where they are wasting time and goofing off with workers on the line -Most of the people working in manufacturing are temps, unprofessional and have no common courtesy whatsoever -English isn't spoken on the floor, 95% is Tagalog, which sucks for those who aren't Tagalog native speakers -Smooching the leads behinds will get you far in this company, but only so much -Most if not all that work in manufacturing/production take an obvious 20-30 min+ break, and 45min-1hr+ lunch, AND NOTHING ever happens to them

Pros

Company has great benefits and a good culture. The people are invested in the product and making sure we provide quality tests for customers

Cons

You have to seek out community. Lots of opportunities to join in, but opportunity is based on searching for it individually

Pros

Great benefits, lots of perks and stocked break rooms.

Cons

Over the past couple of years the sustainment engineering & maintenance department has taken a massive turn for the worst. Workloads and expectations only continued to grow as the team dwindled due to many employees either quitting or being fired. Sadly a lot of unsafe work practices and requests were made while completely ignoring the safety training we received especially when being directed by management to break the SOP in place. Outside "talent" has been repeatedly hired instead of promoting promising employees that understand the systems in place which became a reoccurring problem. A very disturbing trend i have noticed was subordinates being pulled into a break room only for them to be verbally admonished so aggressively that multiple people in the office could hear everything and were very uncomfortable.
