Pros

Miltenyi and Lentigen are playing an important role in the advancement of biomedical research within cell and gene therapy. We are on the forefront of helping influence and advance cell therapies, which can have a great impact on helping cure cancer. It’s a very rewarding feeling to be part of something much larger than myself (helping save lives). Everyone is genuinely excited about the work they do. I work with great team members who really care about the mission and help support each other. The work can be stressful and challenging but it’s exciting to work on new projects and accomplish goals within such an accomplished team. The pay/benefits are competitive (depending on role/position), company has a good work/life balance, the 401K program is second to none (they provide a yearly % match that is very generous).

Cons

On the flip side of the coin. The company is growing, which is great but it can also present some growing pains. At times it can be frustrating because things move very quickly and communication from leadership is not always clear and concise. At times getting things accomplished becomes a political challenge (it’s more about who you know). Germany and North America have different styles and methodologies of working through issues and do not always see eye to eye, which can present its own set of challenges.

Pros

Work is simple and subsidize lunches

Cons

QC Micro management is grossly incompetent. Management doesn't accept any accountability and is always playing the blame game, pushing all the blame to their subordinates. They lack any technical skills whatsoever. How are they the head of the department but can't make any technical decision. Everything has to go through a consultant in which the company pays thousands of dollars to. Maybe the company can save money if they just stop spending money on a consultant and actually hire a manager who knows what they are doing. Management has the weakest ego of all time. Don't even think about questioning them or respectfully challenging them on how things are done. Management is threatened by anyone who is competent due to their own insecurity. Anyone who even had a shred of competency is pushed out. Management loves to dumb down every single procedure and greatly discourages any change that would make life easier because they are clearly not bright enough to be able to justify the changes. Due to their own lack of knowledge, there is no development at all for their subordinates. Management has no respect for their team and thinks half of them are dumb. Half the team has no idea what they are doing. Hardly anyone even understands any of the assays that are ran. Don't even think about asking how an assay works because no one will be able to explain it. This is one of the worst teams I've ever been on. Half the team gossips and is passive aggressive, management included.
