Bio-Rad Laboratories

Engaged employer

Very archaic management style and leadership (or lack of it), people around for all their lives working in one company with no exposure to best practices. Taking years to deploy SAP and continue to perpetuate problems for years due to incompatibility of systems, processes and procedures. - Employee Bio-Rad Laboratories Employee Review

Pros

Very forgiving company ... That's probably why dead woods survive forever despite lack of performance.

Cons

Change and continuous improvements not their culture. HR and Finance - living in their ivory tower.

Pros

Lower level groups were great to work with. The job itself was routine enough that it was easy to learn. Its a great entry job as you have to pick up many skills in a short period of time.

Cons

Management has no idea what it takes to do the tasks they ask of us with little time. Everything is on rush and half the equipment is outdated and constantly failing. New equipment takes forever to validate, if it ever does. You're constantly asked to help other understaffed groups, even if yours is also understaffed. Communication does not go far with upper management as most of them are also overloaded with work and don't actually understand what is needed for jobs to be done.
