No vision, lacking leadership, micromanagement at lower levels - Anonymous employee Orchid Cellmark Employee Review

Terrible, indecisive leadership. Incompetence at a management level rewarded with promotions whilst the staff are trying to fix the messes left behind. No vision for the future or investment to strengthen the company. Infrastructure is non existent and most of the systems in use are not fit for purpose - constant workarounds make things slow and difficult. Research is minimal with little to no opportunity for most staff to get involved. Micromanagement at lower levels, it's more like working on a production line than forensic science. Hemorrhaging experienced staff, not replacing them and so piling the pressure on the staff that remain.
