Pros

Great benefits, lunch stipend, every other Friday off, and rapidly growing company.

Cons

Unless you are a female with a PHD, no need to apply. I've seen at least 6 men be terminated or forced to leave due to a very sexist Program Management leadership. The PM leadership is threatened by anyone with talent and the female to male ratio is a clear representation of sexual discrimination. Due to these issues, I can't recommend this company to anyone, regardless of the company benefits.

Pros

Great technology. Chemistry division is progressive and diverse, the people are more friendly and professional than the Engineering group.

Cons

Some people were fired prior to the acquisition by bioMerieux. This was probably done to sweeten the buyout deal, but they were instead accused of not meeting a vague "performance standard." Those who worked on the Film Array product (the only product the acquiring company was interested in) had an easier time meeting the standard. A few of the managers were attempting to hire only people that passed the local "religion test." I came across evidence of this but it is difficult to prove. I do NOT believe this was a company-wide policy, and it's my guess that those with this discriminatory attitude probably moved over to the "Biofire Defense" offshoot company rather than staying with "Biofire Diagnostics".

Pros

Pay is decent, location was close.

Cons

No communication. Managers disappear for weeks, are extremely unsupportive of our lives outside work. Poor management all around with no collaboration between teams.
