Pros

Great for entry level positions. Most employees here apart from management are great people. The office atmosphere is professional, yet lively and fun. You will meet people from all different types of backgrounds and fields of education.

Cons

Lots of passive agressive drama and terrible communication between departments. Some people in upper management are cocky and think they know everything simply because they have been in this industry for a long time, and there is one person in particular who acts like this and everyone in the office knows this individual and the vast majority of people that know this person share this sentiment, so just watch out/ignore them. The company is incredibly cheap. I have been here for over 3 years and your average raise will be somwhere in the 1.5-2% range no matter how well you perform so you might as well just do the bare minimum required as per your job responsibilites. This company does not give yearly bonuses of ANY kind and you will likely have to wait at minimum 4-5+ years of working there before getting any type of meaningful promotion to a higher position. Prepare to be gaslit if you get the wrong manager(s). Your medical coverage will be overpriced. Beware of the company's vesting schedule if you plan on contributing to a retirement account. The only reason I am staying here to complete my 4th year is so that my 401k match stays vested. Yes, that's right - your 401k match is not 100% vested unless you work for over 4 years. Remember, your bosses are not your friends no matter how much they make you feel like they are; they are simply there for metrics and to make themselves look good to their bosses.

Pros

Incredible management, very communicative, most supportive and kind people i have ever worked with. They want to see you succeed on your contracts and are your safe space for questions and learning. I have never been more pleased with a company. Unlimited PTO

Cons

Most of their recognition is paid out in internal points instead of actual money

Pros

You are never bored due to constant work

Cons

Lab is run horribly. Sample Management never sees promotions. Starting salary is good and then you’re trapped in quicksand. I was graded as the highest possible rating for my merit increase and got a $0.26 hourly increase. The company doesn’t care about everyone working on the back end of studies.
