Pros

This company provides great benefits and incentives to make your monthly Healthcare premium basically free. Although, navigating your benefits can sometimes be confusing or downright frustrating.

Cons

I can't speak for the non production side of the company but 12 hour shifts are tough. Yes you get 3 to 4 day weekends but in the grand scheme of things still doesn't mean much when you spend more than half of it recovering from your workload. Management is vague about what a person needs to do to be able to move up in the company. Turnover rates are high and it's difficult to get anyone to fill positions because of the hours to pay. In addition when working over night you don't get differential pay for your full shift. You only get 8 hours of holiday pay when you get the day off which means you either use pto to make up for the 4 hour difference or get shorted anytime a holiday falls on your work week - everything is catered more towards the administration side of biofire. In summary: if you want to work at biofire try to get into R&D, or an administrative/engineering job. They mostly complain about people being passive aggressive or being bored which is much better than being constantly burnt out and being forgotten by the company.

Pros

Good work week hours. You get every other Friday off. Plenty of vacation time. Very good 401k. Decent medical benefits. Coworkers are the best to work with. Excellent talent and ingenuity. The developers are top notch, project managers are awesome to work with to a degree.

Cons

If you are a test engineer, you will have every project manager, associate director, director and senior director know better than you how to test software. They conform to the factory based test method. They wont let you deviate so don't try. Even with their extremely educated management, they seem to know little to nothing about Tacit and Explicit knowledge or ignore it outright because it doesn't fit into their outdated method. But aren't above informing you how a test case is to be written so that anyone can run it. (A terrible model that makes lazy testers, expensive test case documents, and crappy software)
