Pros

Good technology, may good workers, good intentions, a good merger with DVS. The Cytof seems to hold promise for targeted immunotherapy. They are moving in a clinical direction, however it is much to late in the game and the technology is not ideal for the clinical space.

Cons

This company has dwindled down so far that there are two directions it can go: acquisition or bankrupt. Unfortunately, they have lost many of the good people who helped make it as successful as it had once been. However, this does not seem to concern the management who have the golden parachutes when the rip cord is pulled. The CEO seems like a genuine person, but perhaps not ready to run a company, nor are his top in command.

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Senior Management are castoffs from Danaher. They have taken the same lean work concepts and are trying to implement it at Standard BioTools. There is no discussion of customer or solutions for customers. There is no discussion of employee satisfaction or retention. They will run SBI into the ground with their micromanagement.

Pros

Peers were cool and everyone was friendly and helpful.

Cons

I would honestly never look back. Management is a joke and complete boys club. You could count the number of women working in the microfluidics department on one hand, with high turnover. Guys get together in the breakroom on Friday to drink large quantities of alcohol and go home late. VP at the time was a pompous, narcissistic pain in the behind. Run, don't walk away. Manager wouldn't listen to me even after I complained about threats from a coworker. I should have reported it to HR and now I regret not doing so to save other women.
