Bio-Rad Laboratories

Engaged Employer

Very archaic management style and leadership (or lack of it), people around for all their lives working in one company with no exposure to best practices. Taking years to deploy SAP and continue to perpetuate problems for years due to incompatibility of systems, processes and procedures. - Employee Bio-Rad Laboratories Employee Review

Pros

Very forgiving company ... That's probably why dead woods survive forever despite lack of performance.

Cons

Change and continuous improvements not their culture. HR and Finance - living in their ivory tower.

Pros

I love my co workers and the ability to make my customers happy. Benefits are alright and I do like the products.

Cons

Modern marketing is non existent and the company has been taken over by sweater vest tech bros who feel phony at best. This company is too large to innovate or be nimble, yet too small to acquire new things to sell. Salaries are just so low now that I might need to leave, then come back just to get a pay raise. I’m seeing similar jobs posted for 20% more base than I make 10 years in. No transparency on advancements and annual raises do not reflect effort and making too close to plan on sales just sets you up for failure in the next year. I’d say use this company for a few years then move on.
