Pros

People are friendly Get works night out

Cons

SLT (Senior leadership team) seem to focus on making the company more "modern" and blowing their budget on meaningless objects like tvs in the offices that don't even work. The amount of staff that have came in and out of the company due to lack of management handling and workload being too demanding. The salaries! The poorest paying company ever, always say they don't have the budget to increase your salary when asked because they've blown it on stupid objects and numerous renovations that serve no purpose or are used frequently i.e the kitchen and "innovation centre" on the top of the Thomson Building. Even charities, third sector companies pay higher salaries than BioReliance. It's ridiculous how high the salaries of the SLT are (they got nearly over 5k each annual bonuses while everyone else got between 500-900quid!)

Pros

Some managers were exceptional mentors and played a significant role in my professional growth. Good benefits and a reasonable severance package during workforce reductions. Opportunities to work on large-scale marketing initiatives and collaborate with experience professionals across the organization and globe.

Cons

Advancement opportunities often felt inconsistent and lacked any transparency. Leadership frequently emphasized data-driven decision making, but business decisions did not always appear to align with the metrics being presented. The company appeared hesitant to embrace emerging technologies and AI-driven approaches, limiting innovation in multiple areas. Job security is uncertain, and organizational changes occur frequently with little warning. Management quality varied significantly, While some leaders were outstanding, others struggled with communication, strategic direction, and people management. Career growth seemed to depend heavily on organizational politics and alignment with leadership rather than solely on measurable performance.
